Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

a bo

I tried to write a little blessing for you, but I found this and I cannot do better.  It speaks about this country, but the sentiments are the same for each of our countries.

“Christmas is a season of hope and joy. a time to give thanks for the blessings of Christ’s birth and for the blessings that surround us every day of the year.  We have much to be thankful for in this country and we have a responsibility to help those in need.  Jesus calls us to help others and acts of kindness toward the less fortunate fulfill the spirit of the Christmas season.

On Christmas, we pray for freedom, justice and peace on earth.  We remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom and we ask for God’s blessing on their loved ones.  We ask God to watch over all of our men and women in uniform, many who are serving in distant lands.  Our entire nation is grateful to them and we pray for their safe return.”

On behalf of the administrators, writers and contributors of this site, who “share the love” of Il Volo with you, we wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.

~~ Love you all!  Kelly, Marie, and everyone.

 

‘Twas The Night

I have a need to post this poem I wrote (mangled) in 2013.  It’s my favorite for obvious reasons.   Yes…I plan to post it every year.

  ‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the villa,
not a creature was stirring, not even Godzilla (couldn’t think of another rhyme)

When, what to my wondering eyes should I hear, (I take liberties)
but a song and three Boys, not tiny, but Dear! (lots of liberties)

I saw Piero, Gianluca and Ignazio too,
up to my rooftop, to my living room they flew!

They were dressed all in Armani, from their head to their foot,
but their clothes were all tarnished, with ashes and soot.

A bundle of love they had in their pack,
and they looked just like heaven, when I calmly stared back!

His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! (that really is a line!)
Piero’s glasses were there, the color of cherry! (that one’s not)

Gian said not a word but went straight to his work
and filled all my dreams with songs and a perk!

He’d left me Ignazio all covered with bows
and giving a nod up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his Fiat, to Piero gave a whistle,
and away they both flew, like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim as they drove out of site,
“Happy Christmas to all, I hope Marie doesn’t bite!”

Christmas Reflections by Lydka

This is my Christmas reflection. I created it last year and today translated it to English, maybe you will like it.

It was born Christmas time, but do we know what lies within us?

Heat and light of candles penetrate into our souls, I wonder what it suspects in the heart? We slog for great gifts and forget that the most beautiful treasures are hidden within each of us.

Love between people, solidarity, honesty, faith in goodness and light is the most beautiful part of a person. You can share with these divine gifts and delight, light up others, perhaps unlucky and sullen people, which ran off from the right road and are looking for their proper course, to find tranquility and peace to their painful hearts and blocked feelings of kindness.

Are we real people only at Christmas, with a heart willing to give out? Or do we know it all year? Angelic bells, will sing hallelujah for all on earth that all people can feel the touch of love, humility, and their spiritual power which could multiply the spiritual transformation of the world. We are at the beginning of something from what may some people have fear, but what can bring a lantern of rays of truth and healing for all inhabitants of the universe.

We are part of the universe, we are wonderful and loving beings who should make more use of the gifts given by God to improve this world presence, let it be the beginning of the thread that will lead an iridescent labyrinth to the stars, where we earn enlightenment and fill with shiny solar, monthly and stellar energy and understand that Christmas should be every day of the year with a smile on our lips. We will know how to deal with each problem, we start to feel the lightness of being, and we spread our wings that lead us to God and the angels and we will feel the infinite love and warmth. It will warm us even in the most cruel frost and deepest darkness of the night, when our ego will want to download our souls from heaven to hell.

Let nothing stop us, let us go towards light with firm steps and reach the diamond clarity of mind, crystalline purity of soul and ruby fire of heart.
Amen
