A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM FR. CORAPI
Christmas is one of the greatest of our religious feasts in the Catholic and Christian world. It is, in itself, a most beautiful and joyous time. Existentially, it is a paradox, however, because large numbers of people suffer terribly at this time of year. Why? I suppose there are a lot of reasons, but one is that depression - one of the Enemy's greatest weapons - gets the better of many of us. The world can be a cold place, and rejection and isolation in their various forms take a terrible toll on humanity.
This Christmas, make it a goal to educate yourself and your family on the weapons of the Enemy. The effects of Immortal Combat are perhaps even more evident during this season, as the opportunistic Enemy exploits the weeknesses of the lonely and depressed. Learn how to combat the Enemy with love. Go out of your way to radiate God's love to someone who is most in need of it. Love is like fire. It illuminates the darkness and transmits heat to those around it.God bless you and yours this Christmas, and forever,
Fr. John Corapi
