OUR CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE THE GREATEST GOOD
CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
December, 2021
Hon. Lennox Linton
Parliamentary Opposition Leader
For all our “sons and daughters of this gem beyond compare”, we pray God’s guidance and upliftment in celebration of the wonderful peace on earth good will to men message that accompanied the Christ child to Bethlehem 2,021 years ago.
Regardless of the difficulties in our social and economic circumstances, Christmas remains a favorite time of the year for the Nature Island people of Dominica. In this, our second year under the fears and uncertainties of the deadly COVID 19 pandemic, we embrace the precious gift of the Holidays – spending time with family, friends and loved ones with all the joy that characterizes the season.
But, once again this year, we must do so responsibly, observing all the hygiene, personal protection and social distancing protocols that have served us well so far as the virus continues to send millions to their graves. Wash your hands, wear your mask, keep your distance. If you are not yet vaccinated, please use this period of reflection to understand and appreciate the importance of accepting the best prescription from medical science at this time for the protection of the human family.
As we close yet another year in the struggle to build an ideal, nature island society and a sustainable nature island economy, we join the millions of Christians of good conscience around the world to celebrate the birth of Jesus. We reflect on his story from that Holy Night and his everlasting message of endless love, abiding faith, compassion and hope.
In humble adoration, we reflect on guidelines for joyous nature island living that have emerged from His teachings:
“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruits; the sun does not shine for itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We were born to help each other”.
This Christmas, let us all truly appreciate that the priorities of Mathew 25 are not about deliberately creating poverty as a strategy to build dependence and then feeding, with public funds, those forced to hunger in poverty and dependence in exchange for their loyalty.
This Christmas let us accept that good Christian living requires us to treat one another with love and compassion; care for the sick; feed the hungry; look out for the poor; and stand up for the victims of injustice and persecution. For it is these acts of human kindness that will allow us to bind together as God’s beloved soldiers in the advancement of global civilization.
This Christmas, let us also accept collective sweat of thy brow, Christian responsibility to grow the wealth of Dominica and to share it fairly and equitably. The billions of dollars from the sale of our citizenship belong to all of us. There is nothing Christian about illegally putting these funds in overseas accounts under the unlawful private control of a privileged few. Let us, as Christians of truth, righteousness and justice, place those public moneys into the people’s Consolidated Fund and use them wisely for the benefit of all the people.
The Christmas story guarantees the Christian people of good conscience in this Isle of Beauty that God is implementing his plan for a better Dominica, not by force from the outside but from His spirit that dwells within us all. The more we do His goodwill, the more he abides with us and the more He will move to perform His wonders at the pace of our interest and commitment.
Let this be the Christmas season in which we make doubly sure the alignment of our inner selves with the forces of good in the universe dedicated to pulling down evil, driving change and transforming yesterday’s darkness into tomorrow’s marvelous light.
Let’s look forward to the New Year, resolved to fully commit ourselves to unity of purpose; to joint action; to the values that matter and the standards that count in our Christian responsibility to secure the greatest good for the greatest number.
God Bless You Dominica.
Merry Christmas and a healthier, happier New Year!
LENNOX LINTON
Man go away with your dam hypocrite two face bulls**t next week you will be singing a deferent song you are not to be trusted never! Talk to the hand ✋
Only females use that slang. Your adrenal glands are malfunctioning. They are producing too much estrogen and too little testosterone.
Our next honest Prime Minister. He won’t charge the tax payers $26,000.00 every month for a dirty stinking house. He will have an independent minister of finance, he will not steal the poor people money, he won’t build cabins for people, but provide jobs for Dominicans (not for Chinese), he will retrain the slaves of Skerrit to be real policemen, he will give raises to school teachers, nurses, firefighters, increase pay for laborers etc…This way, people will be able to afford to build their own houses the way they want and where they want. Put Linton and Skerrit side by side; there is no comparison. One is Night (Skerrit) the other is Day (Linton). We need Honorable men in character not because of title.
One good thing about ugly lenny, and his supporters they all belongs to the same comedy club 😂🤣🤣 anyone with time on their hands please read all the crap ugly lenny, supporters posting on this forum!!!
Are you serious?, coming soon.
Did you say HE wont steal poor peoples money?
Oh boy! Are you playing innocent or are you just being deliberately wicked?
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
KID, nice to see you back from your hibernation. Thought you would have used this time to recalibrate. Seems like you are still the same old misguided Labour diehard.
This gentleman is honest, articulate, fair, patriotic, erudite, empathetic, personable, decent, visionary, humble and much more. He is the right person to lead Dominica out of its present, unenviable state of quagmire to a position of bountiful prosperity.
He is a wishy, washy, ugly Lenny. So articulate, he gets defeated each time. IBO, you are nothing but a manicou; the more blows you get is the more blows you want.
Mr. ds , juxtapose Mr. Linton’s Christmas message with that of the tyrannical, semi-illiterate Roosevelt Skerrit. Chalk and cheese.
Mr. Linton’s is easily ‘digestible’, thoughtful and commands attention. After barely managing to read Mr. Skerrit’s completely, if it were intended as food for thought, you would have suffered from severe indigestion.
His Christmas message pales besides Skerrit’s after juxtaposing them. All High school drop outs command attention because everybody wants to know what is next on their mind. Are they going to assault the Principal of DGS or block the roads in Marigot at the next election.
Really??? Ibo, you full of crap get out of here!!!!!
You criticized Skerrit for his Christian message by saying that Christmas is a pagan holiday. Although I agree with that statement I find your hypocrisy remarkable because you give Linton a pass for the same thing.
VERY WELL SAID MR. LINTON.
Am wondering how many sick people you visit and how many hungry ones did you feed. I hope you practice what you preach.
If that is in reference to Lennox; be informed he does not have the government purse; there he is unable to thief anything to give to people.
Lennox is not a thief; our race of people do not know how to steal and lie!
Most of you like everything free; free food that is why they are giving you contaminated ham, and turkey to eat!
It is all over social media, on video; sent to me by someone who knows!
“our race of people do not know how to steal and lie!”
Telemaque, right here, you are a damn liar, apart from the many times you have spoken those devilish untruths–I could write a book full of them based on my communication with you.
“Do not know how to steal” you say! How can you claim to believe in God, and to speak like that at the same time? Good heavens!
If this beautiful and convincing message does not bring out the best in you and spur you to do good then you are morally dead.
Mr. Lennox Linton is precisely the person Dominica needs in these precarious times. Someone whose gratifying words are perfectly congruous with his actions. Someone who is eloquently articulate and delivers a message that’s easily digestible, relevant to the times we live in, one which inspires us and brings out the very best from inside.
I have no doubt that given the opportunity as Dominica’s next leader, Mr. Linton would make Dominica the bread basket of the OECS; the envy of the Eastern Caribbean; restore cohesion in society; share the country’s resources equitably; and ignite a fierce patriotic fervour in the hearts and minds of all reasonable Dominicans.
If all Dominicans would be persuaded by this Christmas message, Dominica would soar from its present state of cinders and ashes to unprecedented heights.
I am not inspired and not convinced. He would make Dominica the bread hunger of the Caribbean. Dominica would definitely soar into oblivion leave it all to ugly Lenny. That is why handbag is now in the trash bag ready for collection on Friday. Only the late handsome Maurice Bishop who delivered messages that were digestible and with everyone on board. Both you and Lenny are irrelevant.
@ds You are a disease and a parasite. Soon you will have to find a real job when the Red Clinic is shut down for good. You will be like little Tommy Talker.
@Jey Jey, At least ds, is talking the truth unlike you all so-called UWP supporters always seems to tell lies whenever trying to form a sensible sentence, just like ugly lenny, his words coming from his bum and out of his mouth sore losers!!!
