Ode to Death

• 

• 

• 

How beautiful is your thought,
How wonderful your existence,
You eliminate pride and wickedness,
You make everybody respect the power divine

Kill all worries in me,
Remind me to be joyful always,
Make me strong and hopeful,
Forever mindful of the glory in heaven

You make even Atheists accept God,
You kill regrets and extinguish hatred,
You fill us with light of life ahead,
All humans are my brothers and sisters

Come conquer me completely with your power,
Never again let me ignore thee,
Make me loyal to my commitments,
Till we meet one day to pass into eternity

Do You Want to Put Christ Back Into Christmas?

Fr. Victor Vijay Lobo,
Sandesha, Mangalore

Dear Friends,

Important information regarding Christmas

1. Please don`t use the term ‘season`s greetings during Christmas.

This term is promoted by people who do not want to take the Name of “Christ”. We as Christians should not hesitate to say “Christ”mas season.

2. It’s wrong to use the term ‘X’mas. ‘X’ means unknown in mathematical terminology. But we as Christians, know that it`s birthday of Our Savior Jesus Christ. We know him. He is not unknown to us. So let`s use the term “Christ”mas properly.

3. Let`s not use the image of Santa Claus to greet on Christmas. Christmas is a birthday of Jesus not of Santa. This used for the commercial benefits by Non Christians. We are Christians let`s not send greetings with Santa Image. Lets send the image of Baby Jesus in the Crib or Baby Jesus with Joseph and Mary. Let`s not be blind imitators of those who misuse it.

Please pass this information to all so that we educated everyone about the true spirit of Christmas and make this year`s Christmas, “Birthday of Jesus Christ Our Savior”.
