Isn’t Christmas wonderful, holy and inspiring us to dream like Jesus or Martin Luther King? I will be with family but someone I know will be serving Christmas meals to the homeless. That is how he will celebrate his Christmas. I am blessed and I don’t know wby. I will be visiting my two son’s who live nearby with their families. One is serving brunch and he and his wife have 4 beautiful daughters. His oldest just aced Biology and Organic Chemistry in her pre med program. She is on a high! My other son and his wife have a boy and a girl, still young enough to enjoy Santa Claus to the fullest. On Christmas Eve we will go to my niece’s home where a priest will celebrate a home Mass for all the family. This priest has spent his vocation with the poor in Mexico, Bangladesh and Nepal. He knows what it is to be poor on Christmas. His Mass is special as you might imagine. I grew up poor, so I know. So while I will be enjoying Christmas, my childhood memories of growing up poor will be with me. My heart will be with those who have nothing this Christmas except Jesus born in a stable giving them hope. It is the prayers of all in CO that go out to the poor this Christmas and to their families. To all of you have a holy and blessed Christmas!
