“We are the first who have to bear witness in an environment where people are delighted by that spirit of Christmas, but it is staying on the surface. And as soon as you scratch, there is God. We have to talk about God,” he noted.
Father Domenech indicated that sometimes “this spirit of helping the poor” at Christmas can cover “the conscience,” because someone may think that “they no longer have to give anything to anyone, and then they are waiting for the Christmas meal to “to blame the family for everything that has happened during the year.”
“No, sorry, Christian charity for the coming of Christ begins with those closest to us, who are the next. So, if you have the opportunity to be with your family on Christmas Day, which I may not have, take advantage of it and do your best.”
“Because, how you take care of them you are treating Jesus,” he pointed out.
