Pope Francis Christmas Message for those who work at the Vatican. Classic Pope Francis! The family is a treasure, children are a treasure, he said. He told everyone to ask themselves Do I have time to play with my children or am I always busy and I have no time for them? Playing with ones kids is so important and its so wonderful. It is sowing the seeds of the future, he said. Among the other things the pope listed that people must take the time to do in their lives: -- Take care of your relationships with others, transforming ones faith into good works through ones actions and words, especially toward the elderly, the homeless, the sick, the hungry and the foreigner, because this is what we will be judged for. -- Watch your mouth, purifying ones vocabulary of offensive words, vulgarity and worldly decadence. -- Heal the wounds of the heart by forgiving people who have wronged you and repairing the wrongs we have caused others. -- Be mindful of doing a good job by working with enthusiasm, humility, competence and passion with a spirit that knows how to thank the Lord. -- Heal oneself of envy, lust, hatred and negative feelings that devour our inner peace and turn us into people who are destroyed and who destroy. -- Pray to God for the wisdom to bite your tongue in time, to not say insulting things that then leave a bitter taste in your mouth. -- Take care of letting go of all rancor that leads us to revenge and from laziness that causes a sort of euthanasia of ones very being. -- Stop pointing fingers, which only fuels pride and stop complaining continuously, which leads us to desperation.
