My God is renunciation

SUMMARY: The Christmas season has become a time of consumerism and materialism, with people buying household appliances and decorations to feel the "Christmas spirit". However, for those who carry Christ in their hearts, Christmas is about love, mercy, reconciliation, and being reunited with the humanized God. While some focus on lighting up their homes, Christians bring the light of the world to those in need. Rather than repair old dolls and compose plaster cribs, we should compose the crib of our hearts and let Christ continue to be born in us every day. We should renounce the worldly things that offer nothing eternal and seek the abundant life that Christ offers, eating the bread of his body which is the church and drinking the wine that reminds us of his sacrifice. We should go out into the world to look for the spiritually ill and seize the kingdom, making each day our Christmas.

Since the end of November, all over the world Christmas sales begin. Cuba does not escape from this, the mentality of consumerism has caught up with us and immersed in this sea of lights and ornaments we diluted ourselves a little and began to dream. The "sales" of household appliances appear and even with the ridiculous salaries of our country, there are people who have managed to save, during the year, even years, some money to buy the "necessary" and of this way they believe they have the “Christmas spirit”.

Others do not even reach it through these things, they live in a world where God was expelled and several generations ignored him for a long time, today they see it as something non-existent and they move in life like zombies leaving what they call "luck" , dragging them or placing their hopes on immobile and lifeless objects.
