Just this morning, after celebrating one of my three Masses at the Naxxar parish, I came across this house with a touching façade that speaks volumes to me, as some people go over and above to make sure the Christian message is spread in our neighborhoods. Over the last few years I've noticed also that the street lights and illuminations are increasing year by year. Besides starting advertising for Black Friday in late October, at least the majority of the people recognize the real reason for this beautiful season. This is the season of hope, awaiting good things, but let's not forget those who lost everything, loved ones, old jobs, friends, but especially the poor people of Palestine and Ukraine. May the 4 words that guide us during this Advent season make a strong effect on our lives and of those close to us Watch, Prepare, Rejoice and Behold. May peace reign during this festive season, but also throughout the New Year.
