The message of the reading is about Jesus as the light of the world. Whoever follows Him will never be in spiritual and moral darkness. God created us in His image and likeness. God made us for beauty, truth, love and light. He gave us the light of reason and conscience which serves as tools we can use to help us live wisely in the present world. There is science and technology which is a stumbling block in our lives that causes us to fight one another and as a result we become economic slaves. As it is written "Whoever hates another believer is in the darkness, walks in the darkness and does not know the way to go because the darkness has brought on blindness." But if we have faith in God and embrace His ways, we live in the light of God.

Dec. 25, 2011 - CHRISTMAS DAY
What does Christmas mean to you? For me, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! As the song goes, so our expectation about the holiday season of gift giving. It is a time of sharing most especially, for the children. When we give to children, we must remember that whom we are giving is the baby born in the manger. Christmas is a historical event and we have to understand what had happened in Bethlehem. It is a time to reflect our journey in life as we become closer to God.
We’re so caught up in the busy world of shopping, partying, exchange gifts and the like. But we have to realize that the true meaning of Christmas is about the nativity of the Lord. We have to worship and rejoice at the miracle birth of the Saviour who brought us into this world.
Mary’s Pharmacy wish you all a
Merry Christmas!
