We are nearing the end of another year and a time when, irrespective of religion each in Brazil, is a period where people guçam his reflections on life and imbue a spirit of solidarity with others.

Of course, that good would that happen every day, all year, all the time, but not those who look with negativity that date seek to give something of themselves to those in need. Rather, we believe it is an attitude to be praised and encouraged. After all, they do little for the community can be assured that they are infinitely superior - if there was a score to measure the actions of our fraternity - than those who do not surrender to the mission of helping the needy brethren.

And it is clear that we are talking here not only in financial aid. Indeed, despite knowing the many needs of the poor, this is one of the most memorable ever, it may be minor compared to the value of a loving word, a gesture of affection and sincere look. These are attitudes that certainly often outweigh gifts, donations and other forms of compensation that many seek to do to reduce your debts in reckoning with the Creator.

Thus, this extra edition of Christmas, we wish to congratulate all those who surrender to the common good, whether in community work, social, religious, and many others. Nor can we fail to praise the initiative of the mayor of the Capital, which launched the campaign to Cool Christmas Well, fulfills its inductive role of public policies to humanitarian causes of the poor, encouraging, above all, donations and gestures of affection a process of social integration tohave should stop there.
