Celebrating One Family Under God

Image via Wikipedia

Merry Christmas ,

Brothers and Sisters.

Something very special is remembered at this time. 

The genealogy of Jesus the Christ shows that Mary,  Tamar and others,  made a breakthrough for Human History. These women  made great effort, at the risk of their lives, to stand with God's will providing for the pure lineage of Jesus. 

Jesus called God, Father.  He taught us to pray saying, "Our Father . . . "

His birth and life opened the way for us to live as brothers and sisters. Let's celebrate.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Image via Wikipedia

Did you ever feel bad because you forgot a birthday?  Don't feel bad.  Did you know that just celebrating birthdays has been a problem for some, even if it is Christ's?  Origen, an early father of the Christian community felt so.  As the popularity of Santa Claus increased from 1823 some wanted to do away with the celebration of Christmas altogether.  Read about it in Joshua King's 'The Examination and Trial of Father Christmas' (1868) which was written shortly after Christmas was reinstated as a holy day in England. 

Isn't it interesting that storytelling, poems, songs and the like can catch the spirit and imagination of a society and carry it to places it had never imagined before.  Such can be the power of word and image at the service of inspiration.

"'Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse..." So begins one of the best-known and best-loved tales of Christmas, "A Visit From St. Nicholas." Published on this date in 1823, most sources attribute authorship of the poem to Clement Clarke Moore, a professor of Oriental and Greek Literature in New York. The poem's description of Santa Claus, his sleigh and slide down the chimney and other aspects of Christmas influenced the way in which Americans came to celebrate the holiday.
Quote: "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!" — "A Visit From St. Nicholas"

A NEW TIME IS COMING According to Reverend Moon, this present materialistic age will soon yield to a new age of spirituality, one based on the universal principle of unselfish service to others and a culture of God-centered families where people of all nations, cultures, races and religions will rejoice together. In the following sections, learn about Reverend Moon's life, The Divine Principle and work of eight decades to bring about this new era.

Participating in ushering in a new age based on the universal principle of unselfish service to others and a culture of God-centered families where people of all nations, cultures, races and religions will rejoice together.

We know that, as we prepare for this and as we move towards it with one heart and one mind, we will bring this to pass. We will see the day where thousands and tens of thousands of Christians and Catholics and Buddhists and other religions can honor and worship together with us, as a Unification family.
