BBM: Serve as a light that brings hope to others

The Philippine Star

December 25, 2024

President Marcos called on Filipinos to reflect on living a life filled with meaning and purpose and to serve as a light that brings hope to others as they celebrate the Christmas season.

- By ALEXIS ROMERO

In his Christmas message, Marcos emphasized the universal appeal of the celebration and the importance of forging a relationship with God and with other people, noting that the occasion provides an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones and to be thankful for one’s blessings.

“To our brothers and sisters in Christian faith, this occasion is a crucial part of our deeply-held beliefs. While it heralds the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior, it also marks the moment we experience the presence of God in its nearest and most intimate form, evoking gratitude, kindness and happiness to one and all,” the President said.

Marcos said such an experience makes the celebration and significance of Christmas transcend the constraints of religion and extend its invitation of joy and thanksgiving to everyone regardless of background.

“As Filipinos take this highly anticipated chance to come home, reconnect with loved ones and relish the blessings of the past year, I call on everyone to reflect on what is truly important: living a life of meaning and purpose,” he said.

“By doing so, may the bustle and spirit of Christmas make love and peace abound in every household and instill in us a deeper appreciation of the strength that comes from our relationship with Christ and each other,” he added.

Marcos also made reference to the star that guided the Magi to the birthplace of Jesus to encourage Filipinos to bring hope to other people.

“In our endeavor to build a ‘Bagong Pilipinas,’ let us then emulate the light that led the wise men to meet the infant in the manger so others may see and experience the hope that the Lord Almighty freely offers to us all. I wish you all a blessed and merry Christmas!” the President said.
