"This day, Christmas, when you celebrate Christ's birth, resolve to lead the lives of loving service to the weak, the helpless, the distressed, the disconsolate. Cultivate tolerance and forbearance, charity and magnanimity. Hold dear the ideals He laid down and practise them in your daily lives.
The important message that I want to convey today, which Jesus also propagated, is one of love and compassion. So, boys and girls, on this holy and sacred day, when we celebrate the birthday of that holy personage, we must conduct ourselves in accordance with His message. It is easy to celebrate birthdays but we must also keep in sight the purity and message of the person whose birthday we celebrate."
