Thanks brother Ramadoss. Really a nice quote.

Yes, I do agree it is something to think about,
particularly in this period of Christmas and passage
to the New Year. So many artificial things going on,
and the spirit of sacrifice, which seems to be the
essence of that Christ-Jesus life, is so often not
even given consideration. May we avoid artificial
comemorations, and give real reflexion and serious
grateful reverence to Him  whose life is the mark
for this era.

Arnaldo.
