Let us pause before the Child of Bethlehem. Let us allow our hearts to be touched, let us allow ourselves to be warmed by the tenderness of God; we need his caress. God is full of love: to him be praise and glory forever! God is peace: let us ask him to help us to be peacemakers each day, in our life, in our families, in our cities and nations, in the whole world. Let us allow ourselves to be moved by God's goodness. ✨ Urbi et Orbi (To the City and the World). Pope Francis' Christmas Day message address from the Vatican, www.huffingtonpost.com. December 25, 2013.
