The Reflection contained different oral reading accompanied with Christmas songs. Everyone learned that this Feast is a second creation of humankind, because the coming of our Savior in the world is a reunion with eternal life in Christ. The emphasis of the Reflection was that all the outer adornments are an expression of our inner joy brought by the birth of our Savior. The Light comes in the midst of a freezing and hopeless winter to shine in our darkness and to revitalize all creation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 642px; height: 766px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span class=\"style21\"><span class=\"style22\"><em>Pure is the present night,<\/em><br \/> <em>&nbsp;in which the Pure One appeared, <\/em><br \/> <em>Who came to purify us!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>Let our hearing be pure, <\/em><br \/> <em>and the sight of our eyes chaste, <\/em><br \/> <em>and the feeling of the heart holy, <\/em><br \/> <em>and the speech of the mouth sincere!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>The present night is the night of reconciliation; <\/em><br \/> <em>therefore, let no one be wroth against<\/em><br \/> <em>&nbsp;his brother and offend him!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>This night gave peace to the whole world,<\/em><br \/> <em>&nbsp;and so, let no one threaten. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>This is the night of the Most Meek One; <\/em><br \/> <em>let no one be cruel!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>This is the night of the Humble One;<\/em><br \/> <em>&nbsp;let no one be proud!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"style23\"><span style=\"color: #b22222;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><em>Now is the day of joy; <\/em><br \/> <em>let us not take revenge for offences!
