Eve of JC’s birth!
In Christian churches …
Devoted believers remember-
His birth
His lowly entry into world
His messages of hope and love
His Messianic journey
Eve of JC’s birth!
Out in the streets …
Young and old find ways to
bring material joy
Fireworks are set off
Sellers peddle their ware
Rushed gift shopping goes on
Revelers and merrymakers wander
Eve of JC’s birth!
Somewhere in the thick of
darkness …
People long to be connected
with someone or something
Homeless souls roam for a spot to lie for the
night
Hungry children, men and women cry for food
The sick have no relief from pain
The lonely enter deeper into depression
Eve of JC’s birth!
In the recesses of my mind …
I reflect on how Mass for JC
came to be celebrated
In fashions so very different from its
solemn roots
In family circles
Within and among friends
Away from loved ones
Mass for JC’s
birth!
All around the world …
We cut a tree and don it with ornaments
We use up energy to have festive lights or
lanterns
We eat and fill our stomachs until we grow
sick
We expects gifts
We forget why we celebrate Jesus Christ’s Mass!
