Christmas is a deeply meaningful time that reflects the heart of the Christian message: hope born in humility. It reminds us that Jesus, the Son of God, was born not in a palace but in a stable—among the poor, the overlooked, and the vulnerable. His birth in Bethlehem speaks to the dignity and worth of every person, regardless of their circumstances.
For those experiencing homelessness, Christmas becomes a time of compassion and community, where people gather not just to receive warmth and food, but to share in the light of Christ’s love. It’s a season that affirms that no one is forgotten, and that God’s presence is especially near to those in need.
