Some Weep, Some Rejoice

And we all thought that Christmas was a jolly season for all ages, but we've ignored pain...not seeing tears roll down those cold and fearful cheeks! Some weep, some rejoice... others don't celebrate, but rage with malicious eyes; wasn't that child's birth announced by angelic voices that attested He was God's choice? Depression is the worst kind of sadness, and unless the noticeable signs are felt or filled with alarm: we may lose persons very dear to us... before tragedy strikes, intervene to save them from harm! Some weep, some rejoice.... many show blind belief and resist to give the Redeemer due praise; they are the fools who follow a cult! Why should this holiday be so sad, wasn't Jesus born to bring us joy... that's what every joyful angel proclaimed as they crowned Him king for eternity! Some weep, some rejoice... others don't conceive the true worth of Heavenly glory, they hate goodness and despise holiness: mocking and twisting the pure image of faithful Mary!
