Che Jesus

Che Jesus,
They told me that you came back to be born every Christmas.
Man you're crazy!
…with this stubborn gesture of coming back every Christmas
 you are trying to tell us something:
That the revolution that all proclaim begins first of all in
 each one’s heart,
That it doesn't mean only changing structures but changing
 selfishness for love. hat we have to stop being wolves and return to being
 brothers and sisters,
That we…begin to work seriously for
 individual conversion and social change
That will give to all the possibility of having bread,
 education, freedom, and dignity.
That you have a message that’s called the Gospel,
And a Church, That's us!
A Church that wants to be a servant of all,
A Church that knows because God became human
 one Christmas
there is no other way to love God but to love all people.
If that’s the way it is, Jesus, come to me this Christmas,
Come to my country,
Come to the world of men and women.
And first of all, come to my heart.
