A Christmas Celebration

The day is perfect, full of life,
the sun smiles gently on the earth.
Among the people there is no strife,
their voices rise with dulcet mirth.

This day marked the birth of a child,
who transformed our reality,
His compassion, loving and mild,
heralded our spirituality.

He taught forgiveness at all times,
it matters not how bad the wrong,
and love those who do hurtful crime,
our God will play the judgment song.

Those who heeded the words He spoke,
found lives of devotion and love,
transformed by His message awoke,
reborn from compassion above.

Rushing through the holidays,
collecting goodies and toys,
wondering how many ways,
to find peace, repose and joy.

A video to watch. It is beautiful.
Sorry, it can’t be watched outside of YouTube.

Here’s the translation:

Mary wandered through a wood of thorns
Kyrie eleison
Mary wandered through a wood of thorns
which for seven years had been leafless
Jesus and Mary

What was it Mary carried beneath her heart ?
Kyrie eleison
A little child without any pain
that’s what she carried beneath her heart
Jesus and Mary

Then the thorns bore roses
Kyrie eleison
And carried the child through the woods
Jesus and Mary

Who alone has redeemed the world ?
Kyrie eleison
that was the little child Christ
Only He has redeemed the world
Jesus and Mary

(if you look into the depth of love you realize it’s true – it makes the world vanish)

Wish you a beautiful Christmas !

P.S. Kyrie eleison = Dear Mercy.

How many ways can I love you?
I will attempt to write them down.
It could be a large thing to do,
my poor fingers would wear a frown.

Ahh!, but there is only one way
that anyone can really love,
that way is unconditional,
it is the only kind of love.

If love is not unconditional, it is not love, it is a contract.
