May Christ be the Center of our Christmas Celebrations!

Paradise Door Step wishes all our esteemed readers a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2014.

In today’s World, Christmas has become so commercialized and most of our children might end up thinking that Santa Claus and not Jesus Christ, is at the center of this great celebrations.

As we mark this day, let’s call to our attention, the wise words given to us by the Head of our Church, Pope Francis who pointed out on the danger of a World that is chocked by parties, shopping and making noise.

"Like the Virgin Mary, the Church this week is expecting a birth," Francis noted.

"Is there space for the Lord or is there space only for parties, shopping and making noise?" he posed.

There goes the challenge. Lets party for a Messiah who is born amongst us; lets shop for ourselves and for the needy in our communities too; and let’s make noise, glorifying our God who so much loves the World that He has given us His very begotten son, for us and our salvation!

Once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2014!
