Pope Francis

As another year draws to an end, let us pause before the manger and express our gratitude to God for all the signs of his generosity in our life and our history.

Where there is a mother, there is unity, there is belonging, belonging as children.

As another year draws to an end, let us pause before the manger and express our gratitude to God for all the signs of his generosity in our life and our history.

Dear friends, let us bring to Christ’s Cross our joys, our sufferings and our failures. There we will find a Heart that is open to us and understands us, forgives us, loves us and calls us to bear this love in our lives, to love each person, each brother and sister, with the same love.

With Mary, the God-Child learned to listen to the yearnings, the troubles, the joys and the hopes of the people of the promise.

As another year draws to an end, let us pause before the manger and express our gratitude to God for all the signs of his generosity
