The True Essence of Christmas

The week of Christmas is upon us and my heart can’t help but think about the true essence of Christmas, is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he willingly made out of his infinite love for each one of us.
Every person has his own priorities, his own wants and needs. Some people may choose material things while others may prefer tangible ones such as love, peace, prosperity and good health among others. No matter what these people wish for these holiday season, what matter most is that the desires of their hearts are granted as long as nobody is hurt, right?

This Christmas season, it is important for us to bear in our minds the reason why we are celebrating this yuletide season in the first place. In this month of December, it is must for us to remember that our Lord came in this world in order to save us from our sins; He came to redeem us from the wickedness of this world.
I am so grateful that Jesus was willing to take a “licking” for each of us, atoning for our sins. His selfless sacrifice and infinite love is the true essence of Christmas. May our hearts be full of gratitude for Him and may we show our thanks by treating others with love throughout this Christmas.

VAWC-GAD

VAW is linked with the unequal power relationship between women and men, resulting from society’s misinformed views on gender and sexuality, according to the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW).

Men are traditionally labelled as leaders and providers, while women are seen as nurturers and supporters. This perception leads to men gaining more power over women. VAWC is not only a crime, but also a gross violation of human rights. Every woman’s experience of abuse is different, and each one of them deserves respect and support.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive, exapggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. What causes GAD? The exact cause of GAD is not fully known, but a number of factors- including genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental stresses- appear to contribute to its development.
