Pope Francis 2017 Christmas sermon

It's to be read and reread several times...(Seems to be that this Pope maybe the one with the greatest spirituality since Peter)

"You can have flaws, be anxious, and be angry, yet not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust.Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. 

Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is to enjoy the smile, and also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes but also to learn lessons from the failures. It is to feel happy with the applause, and also to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny"s author.
It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you. It is having the courage to hear a "no" It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified.
It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us.
To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us - free, joyful and  simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity  to say,** "I need you. It is to have the ability to say " I love you".


May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. for only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not about having a perfect life.
It is to use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculptor serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence.
Never give up....Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show. "
