At 8:30 am, Fr. Joseph went to bless the game and open the Christmas fair for the children. He told the children to have fun but not to sin. And to be ready to open their hearts fervently to welcome the Child Jesus into their hearts.
The fair took place with much excitement. It was lively, attractive but also full of drama in each game. The stalls were full of laughter mixed with the children’s good cheer. In their hands, tickets with each child's small dreams of winning games, hoping to exchange them for meaningful gifts, delicious food...
The fair closed at noon. Many children left happily with many meaningful gifts that they themselves exchanged for winning the games, and wishes that they all enjoyed a Christmas season filled with joy and peace and filled with the Grace of the Child Jesus pouring down on each of their families.
