Today at the 24th of December is Christmas Eve, which is the beginning of the Christmas feast days. Many people are going to church once again to take part at a church service, where the birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated.

Christmas is a feast full of happniness not only for business man, who are happy about their turnover, but also for the many people, who receives gifts or for the people, who will dine such as kings or imperators.

This all is Christmas, but the most important is falling into oblivion. God has sent us many years ago the Son of Man to earth for showing us how big his love is.

He announced him through a prophet, who said: „ Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel.” Emmanuel may translate as: God is with us.

The most difficult question, which rises up is, where is God with us today? Jesus Christ died and if we look more into detail than is less really touchable left over. We have church buildings, priest, bishops and of course the pope in the catholic church, we also have many caritative institutions, but where is God really touchable?

The answer is quite easy and lies quite often unrealized directly in front of us: God is equal Love. In this way we can say that overall, where love a room has God is present or in other words we may say that wherever people spending love there is also God. Due to that we find between parents and children, between couples or in friendships all signs of love. Through that it is not hard to understand, what the birth of Jesus Christ means.

I wish all visitors, their families and friends a merry and contemplative Christmas Feast.

Go out and live in peace!
