A gloomy yet merry Christmas


Yesterday, after coming from my anticipated advent mass at 9:00 PM in a particular chapel, I was to surprised to find out that a raging fire has razed one of the areas which we are assisting. In just a short while, 400 poor have been found homeless. What a gloomy moment of preparing for Christmas. Nonetheless, we are still hopeful that other generous people can make the homeless feel the true spirit of Christmas by sharing whatever they have. Any simple gesture of kindness would perhaps be the best Christmas present to the victims.
