There was no other place that could receive Him. The World, full of problems and of unrestful lives, worried itself with the powerful ones of the time, and reserved distinctions only to those who enjoy a life of luxury as well as of pleasure. The simple and ordinary people were treated with indifference and disrespect, the doors were closed, making the journey more difficult. But today, everything remains almost in the same way. Nevertheless, during that night of clear and starred sky, among domesticated animals, in a small manger, turned into a comfortable crib, Jesus was born, who transformed the cellar into a scene of perpetual light, that continue to shed clarity in the long night of the centuries, for almost two thousand years... Jesus inaugurated the era of humility and of renunciation, He elected simplicity, in order to teach inner grandeur as the only necessary condition for true happiness. His kingdom, which was then installed on that night of cosmic harmonies, remains as an opportunity of redemption for all who decided to undertake it. And his modest birth, still provoke historical echoes, never before foreseen. Men and women, who learned His news and message, changed themselves, reorienting their life journeys and their behavior, becoming, from then on, beacons of light, pointing directions of happines for Humanity. |
