Anyone who sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, should petition God, and thus life will be given to the sinner. —1 John 5:16 Many have not had Christmas because they have not repented of sin in their lives. We should petition the Lord for sinners and life will be given to them. Through the Lords forgiveness, they will be given Christmas just before the season ends. The devil grinch thought he had robbed them of Christmas. However, by prayer, we rob the robber and give many people another opportunity for Christmas. On this second last day of the Christmas season, go to Confession and invite others to join you. For so many, Confession is the key to Christmas. Many people are spiritually still in Advent. They need to obey John the Baptizers call and be baptized in repentance (Lk 3:3). We are called to be ministers of reconciliation, to encourage others to get the specks out of their eyes, after we have removed the planks from ours (Mt 7:5). The Lord has entrusted the message of reconciliation to us. This makes us ambassadors for Christ, God as it were appealing through us. We implore you, in Christs name: be reconciled to God (2 Cor 5:19-20). Tomorrow, on the last day of the Christmas season, lets help others have their first day of Christmas by going down together into the waters of the Jordan and repenting of our sins. He must increase, while I must decrease. —Jn 3:30
