An opportunity to look at the society in which we live with realism and joy: although there is no lack of difficulties, there is much that can be done to build, with the efforts of all, a world worth living in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\"Jesus, You, lying in a manger, are the bread of my life.\"<\/p>\n<cite><em>Pope Francis Homily Christmas Mass 2018<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pope Francis - Homily at Holy Mass on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2018.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XAeAfJioHUA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christian Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Bring a <strong>invitation to all men<\/strong> of good will so that we may reconsider, so that, respecting the differences, opinions and ways of being of each one of us, <strong>let's look for<\/strong> decidedly the important thing: <strong>the true good of every human being, above personal selfishness.<\/strong> It is a feast of optimism, light, reconciliation, joy and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2-1024x586.jpg\" alt=\"navidad cristiana\" class=\"wp-image-192824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/navidad-cristiana-2.jpg 1290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\"Christmas is you when you illuminate with your life the path of kindness, patience, joy and generosity.\" <\/p>\n<cite>Pope Francis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And such optimism, joy and peace will be real if<strong> let Jesus be born in our hearts<\/strong>to enlighten them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tips are:<br>a) Put on the nativity scene and explain it to the children, and pray there, reliving the scene.<br>b) Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/fundacioncarf.org\/misa-del-gallo-historia-significado\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"192802\">Midnight Mass<\/a>or take special care of the Mass of that day.
