Instead of expecting to be in the spotlight, try helping someone without being noticed. It's not about being recognized; it's about touching those who need it most.

Pope Messages at Christmas Midnight Mass
"Man is so preoccupied with himself, he has such urgent need of all the space and all the time for his own things, that nothing remains for others, for his neighbor, for the poor, for God,"
"He came to restore beauty and dignity to creation, to the universe: This is what began at Christmas and makes the angels rejoice. The Earth is restored to good order by virtue of the fact that it is opened up to God ... Thus Christmas is a feast of restored creation."
'Do we have time and space for God?’
In a homily delivered in Italian in front of thousands packing the basilica, Benedict asked the faithful to make room for God, as well as the less fortunate, in their lives.
"Do we have time for our neighbor who is in need of a word from us, from me, or in need of my affection? For the sufferer who is in need of help? For the fugitive or the refugee who is seeking asylum? Do we have time and space for God?"
In some way, mankind is awaiting God, waiting for him to draw near. But when the moment comes, there is no room for him," he said.
But the message of Jesus' birth, which is marked on Christmas, is also that "God does not allow himself to be shut out," Benedict said. "He finds a space, even if it means entering through the stable; there are people who see his light and pass it on."
Pope spoke the traditional wish for peace in Latin: "Pax vobis" ("Peace be with you"). The faithful responded: "Et cum spiritu tuo." ("And also with you.")

Statement of Cabinet Secretary Ricardo L. Saludo
Dapat iangat ang antas ng politika
Dapat nating itaas ang antas ng diskurso sa politika.
We have to elevate the level of political discourse.
Hindi lang paninira, kundi pagkilos para sa bayan.
We must focus attention not just on attacks against rivals, but also actions for the nation.
Hindi lang pagtatalo, kundi pagtutulungan at pagkakasundo.
We should highlight not just crossing swords and raising voices, but also joining hands and mending fences.
Hindi lang paratang at sabi-sabi, kundi kaalaman at katibayan.
And we should present not just accusations and speculations, but also solid facts and sound basis.

Lamentation
not everyone can afford to go to school,
not everyone can go to school, even in public,
not everyone can continue schooling,
not everyone can finish schooling
not everyone is assured of a good job,
not everyone is assured of good-paying job.
not everyone.

"Letters To You"
Can't you see that i wanna be there with open arms
It's empty tonight and i'm all alone
Get me through this one
Do you notice i'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so
I'm writing again these letters to you aren't much, I know
But i'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart
Do you notice i'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so [x4]
No more looking i've found home
I want you to know that I miss you I miss you so [x4]
I'm gone away
I'm gone away
