Sermons in church are somewhat monotonous. Not that I haven’t heard from a humorous priest or a straight-to-the-point preach there’s just a new kind of sermon that I just heard last night – Christmas Eve. The priest started with the people who will be happy on Christmas. He said that it wasn’t the people who attended Misa De Gallo only for the sole purpose of a special request. It wasn’t the people who didn’t attend the Misa De Gallo, though they wanted to, because of work and sleep. He said that those who will be TRULY happy on Christmas Day are those who attend the mass with joy in the coming of the Lord.
He let one of the parish members to tell a story of an Angel. This Angel is Angelito. Angelito stayed behind at
A shepherd was his first customer. He asked for two kilos of peace because he has a lot of enemies and one kilo of mercy because he is a sinner. What he received on the other hand were seeds. Confused, he asked Angelito.
The angel smiled and said. All of these gifts are gifts you have since birth. These gifts were given by God. You don’t need to ask for them because they are already given to you. However, no full-fledged love can be bestowed on no one. No fruitful peace can be handed over easily. God’s gifts are like seeds. You have to nurture them for it to grow. You need to mold it to what you want it to become.
His greatest gift is Jesus Redeemer. He was destined to die and save us all. On this day He was born from the lowest of men to the highest of kings. Happy Birthday Jesus Christ and Merry Christmas to all!
