My Creator, have mercy on me!
From the moment I entered into the cell, all my sins constantly were before my eyes, and I wept when I remembered them - Saint Thais of Egypt
So my brothers and sisters, let us go and make our families holy like the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph today by making God the center of our families and by truly and sincerely loving one another.
My brothers and sisters, as we come closer to birth of Christ, let us not forget the message of Christ’s coming into our world and our lives, which is, to do the will of God. So let us do the will of God by practicing love always, by being faithful to God and by being humble.
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, if we wish to attain heaven, we must be prepared to truly follow Christ by cutting off every and all things that will make us not attain the kingdom of heaven by resisting our evil inclinations. Then through sacrifice, give up things that are needed and that are dearest to our human nature and avoid the temptations of the devil.
