The True Spirit of Christmas

I got this from today's editorial at the Inquirer:

"The vigorous Catholicism of writers like G. K. Chesterton and our own Horacio de la Costa [yes, yung may statue pa hehe] taught many to see (and to welcome) the upside-down quality in the Christian faith: It is a religion of reversal, where the last shall be first and the poor inherit the earth. And where the object of pilgrimage becomes a pilgrim himself, a fellow transient. He is one of us; He is God-with-us."

It is my hope that as we celebrate tonight and tomorrow, we may never forget why we are celebrating at all - that 2 millenia ago, the object of our journey in life came to us that He may be one of us, God-with-us, that He might deliver His ultimate gift: our salvation.

Merry Christmas everyone!
