Pope Francis stressed that the restrictions imposed in various parts of the world to limit the spread of the Corona virus is a good occasion for people to review their stance on Christmas.
In his weekly sermon today, Sunday, the Supreme Pontiff warned that consumerism is prevailing over Christmas celebrations, saying: “There is gift selling, shopping and urgency .. Consumerism has stolen Christmas from us.”
The Pope called on the faithful to return to the true original spirit of Christmas, adding that he was in Bethlehem when Christ saw the light, “poverty and much love.”
The Pope called on people to take a “concrete step toward Christmas” and not complain about the restrictions imposed at this difficult time, but rather do something for those with fewer resources.
He continued: “In order for Jesus to be born in us, we must restore our hearts to be like Mary’s heart: free from evil, hospitable, and ready to receive the Lord.”
