Jesus was born in a stable. Stable signifys poverty. There are many poor people in this world. Some are poor because they have no money to buy essential needs. Many times the rich have more than needed but we never think about those who cannot buy bread. Many of them go to bed hungry.They do not have enough to buy clothes either. Many have not seen what real christmas is.For them life has become a burden. We have lots of associations in the catholic church but do we really help them? We have the caritas, the vincente de Paul etc etc .There are many who really are poor. Sometimes a poor widow has rich children who never think about the poor mother or father. They may send once in a way some money but that is not sufficient to live in today's world. Do these caritable institutions who make money from the people visiting the church ever think that they should adopt these type of people? Today caritas Goa has built huge mansion to look after 9 hippies suffering from aids . These are foreigners who should be sent back to their country and our people who have no one to lean on should be looked after. We have second catagory of poor who have money but no support. Sometimes these are old people left out by their children to fend for themselves. They need support to do their daily needs and many of them are living alone and are suffering from boredom. They have no one to love, no one to talk ,no one to do their marketing and are often at the mercy of neighbours and friends .Jesus was born among these type of people. Before dying Jesus made sure his mother was not left alone and told his friend John. friend this is your mother ,mother this is your son. So much concern for his earthly mother. Christmas by going for mass, attending dance, christmas carols, get together is not christmas at all. For us christians christmas means turning ourselves in the direction of the downtrodden and holding their hands and lifting them up so that they can see God and Christ. They can smile, they can be happy, through out their life. Those who have two rupees can you select one of these poor and give them one rupee? Those who have two hands and legs can you select one old person or a person who is sad and depressed and make that person see a blue sky? Can you visit any one of these needy people and offer your help? The right way is to go to the home for the aged select any old person from there and bring him or her to your house for one weekened and allow him or her to stay with you, play with you, eat with you for just one saturday night and sunday whole day once in six months and see the happiness in their life?
