Taking note of the country’s severe economic crisis, Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith called on Christians to spend their Christmas with the poor.

It is said that 8.1 million people in the country are on the fringes of starvation, the Archbishop said in his Christmas message. He noted that the Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Sri Lanka has made an appeal, especially to the Christians not to spend their Christmas on extravaganzas because this is not the time for such things.

“Let us spend this Christmas with our brethren who are most seriously affected by the situation that is existing in our country. Let us invite them to our homes, share what we have with them. Let us give them whatever we can give and make their lives at least on that day, a happy one. This is the way we can honour and respect the Lord who is born in the manger,” he stressed.
