For four Sundays of Advent we have prayed and sung: Come, Lord Jesus.<\/p>\n
Today, in these days of Christmas, we say: \u201cWelcome.\u201d Our lives are full of welcomes. From eternity God the Father has told us: Welcome to my eternal love, which has no beginning or end. Welcome, my image, my son, my treasure, my life.<\/p>\n
When our mother found out that we were inside her, she exclaimed: Welcome, Welcome, and our father said the same when he learned that his love had generated a blessed fruit and our grandparents, relatives and neighbors repeated: Welcome, Welcome.<\/p>\n
And when each of us was born the angels sang: Glory to God in heaven and in that blessed fruit of love: peace. On the day of our baptism the Church jumped for joy saying: Welcome, Welcome.<\/p>\n
When we first went to school, to work, and to places for the first time, they said: Welcome, Welcome.<\/p>\n
The husband and wife, returning home, say to each other: Welcome, my only love. Welcome, my only love.<\/p>\n
The Son of God really liked this word that denotes immense tenderness and has had immense desires to hear it. The Virgin Mary said to him: Welcome, my son, blessed fruit, to my virginal womb.<\/p>\n
Saint Joseph has exclaimed: Welcome to our house. San Joaqu\u00edn and Santa Ana, grandparents; The holy elders Simeon and Anna exclaimed: Welcome.<\/p>\n
Later, the sinners, the evil ones, in need of forgiveness, shouted: Welcome.<\/p>\n
And those who cry and suffer: Welcome.<\/p>\n
We too today, on this Christmas night, say to you:<\/p>\n
Welcome to our heart longing for peace. Welcome to our family that needs more love and harmony.<\/p>\n
Welcome to all corners of our Country, which needs and wants to know the path that leads us to peace and happiness.<\/p>\n
All the people in need of love tell you: Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time.<\/p>\n
Those who have conflicts, lawsuits, disagreements also want to tell you: Welcome.<\/p>\n
This Christmas time is the great moment for displeased husbands, brothers struggling with inheritances, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, people who hate each other, the offenders and the offended to shout with all the strength of their hearts: Welcome, little baby Jesus, prince of peace<\/p>\n
How wonderful it is for everyone to be able to sing on December 31: Glory to God in the sky and peace in my heart; in my family, peace; In my town, peace!<\/p>\n
How wonderful to be able to sing the 366 days of the year 2024: \u201cGlory to God in heaven and peace in the hearts of all Cubans wherever they are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
