Albert writes:- The birth of Christ within us should change our lives. For many
Christmas means midnight mass, crib, star, sweets, fire works, midnight dance
.This is outward sign and cannot change our lives. The word of God is missing
with us. What we actually receive is just snacks. We are still pagans like our
ancestors and believe in pagan gods . Our religion is based on different
feasts, different sermons, different stories which have no significance to the
word of God. During Jesus' time there was only the Passover and the reading of
the scroll. They prayed in synogue and they read the word of God. Jesus did not
create a religion but he changed human beings into lovable human beings. The
early christians received baptism in the Holy Spirit .They were never accepted
by the other people but they had the Spirit of God with them. The Devil took
its possesion and this God's religion was taken over by Kings who wanted
thrones,palaces and luxuries which has remained till this date. We do not
contain anything to boast except that like the Jews we have received the
baptism of water .Mary ought to have taught us to say yes to God's plan which
she really did, and to show concern for others but we are blinded by false
teachers that Mary will hold our hand and take us to Jesus. If that is what we
really believe than Heaven may not be yours. Is it necessary to give so many
names to Mary who was a simple loving God fearing woman of Jerusalem who always
did what God told her to do ? Who has promissed that if you celebrate Mary's
thousand feast that she will interceed for us ? She did not say, Jesus did not
say God did not say so how can we make presumation ! We should have authority
to preach the way we do. Catholicsm is a farce. We have nothing to boast. Our
prayers are standard prayers which has to be made by heart and the same prayers
have seen centuries because our leaders are not capable of leading us to the
Lord.
