After Christmas..?

Christmas celebrations, Holidays are over and many of our Parishes are getting ready for the Lent Season.


We all had good food and spend lot of time in fun and leisure
Over food, food waste, energy waste, consumption of alcohol  were some of the features of this Christmas


Many of us wasted lot of money for a grand and luxurious Christmas Celebrations.......
Decorations were cleared from the Churches and Homes and kept safely for Next Christmas
Waiting for next year Christmas....!


Why we don't have Christmas Experience Everyday ?
Visitation of the Magi was one of the lessons of the First Christmas


While they visited Christ there was a detouring experience in their lives......
They changed their journey plan according to their vision from God


They detoured from their plans....
They detoured from Herod's commanded journey plan. Emperor ordered them to come back to Palace...
But they detoured from that instructed journey plan......


Do we had such experience in this Christmas?
Are we still continue with the old journey plan?


Christmas demands such a detouring experience in our thoughts, perceptions, imaginations, actions, decisions, attitudes and that makes Christmas an  ongoing experience....


We started a journey , but it will be meaningful and dynamic only when we have a detouring experience in every moments of our life.
When we have such a detouring experience our journey will be not static, ritualistic, and consumeristic...


But our journey will be life protecting, life giving and  empowering......
Ultimately we reach in the Kingdom of God....the destiny of our detouring life journeys......
