The Head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, during a Sunday evening special Mediaset broadcast anchored by Fabio Marchese Ragona, at the Casa Santa Marta residence. sent his warmest Christmas greetings:
“What do you think about Christmas? That I must go out and buy this, that, and the other…Okay, but what is Christmas? Is it a tree? A statue of a baby with a woman and a man next to it? Yes, it’s Jesus, it’s the birth of Jesus, stop for a moment and think of Christmas as a message of peace. I wish you a Christmas with Jesus, a real Christmas. Does this mean we can’t eat? That we can’t have a celebration? No, have a celebration, eat everything, but do it with Jesus, that is, with peace in your heart. And to all of you who are listening to me, I wish you a Merry Christmas. Celebrate, give gifts, but don’t forget Jesus. Christmas is Jesus who comes, Jesus who comes to touch your heart, Jesus who comes to touch your family, who comes to you, to your home, to your heart, to your life. It is easy to live with Jesus, he is very respectful, but don’t forget that. I wish everyone a blessed and holy Christmas. And please pray for me!”
