The decoration is just a form, a game, an attempt to get back the lost… Otherwise it is placed with hope; the hope is that it, the external festivity, will dispel the darkness in our souls, take the place of pain and suffering.
We probably need light to incinerate lies, cruelty, greed…
Miracles happen where the people are not silent, but are a just judge of the law and a strict corrective of the rulers, because this right is given to them by God. And finally: miracles happen every day where the people are pious and God-loving, where no one leaves the lamp of their faith to go out. Where the rich donate generously to the needy and where the abomination of desolation does not spread; where the old are an example to the young, where each is the teacher of the other in the good.
Miracles happen not only at Christmas, they happen every day, but only where orphans and widows are looked after, where the poor are helped, the sick and suffering are cared for sacrificially and truly, and where, finally, children are brought up in God’s law. as it has been in our lands for a long time. Where the sacred divine institute of the family is not replaced by modern nonsense, where the sins and diseases of the soul and body are healed and not proclaimed as rights and freedoms of a new generation. Where from the hotbed of knowledge, the school, the knowledge of God is not eradicated more and more.
Indeed, it is high time we realized that our human justice, clothed in a legal framework, is fading before Christ’s law of love! Love of God and neighbor.
