Pope Francis - The Message of Christmas

“This is the message of Christmas:
The Word became flesh.
Thus, Christmas reveals to us the immense
love that God has for humanity.
From this too derives our enthusiasm,
our hope as Christians,
that in our poverty we may know
that we are loved,
that we have been visited,
that we are accompanied by God.”

- Pope Francis
