Merry Christmas From The Vatican
Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI is busy this Christmas. You can find out all about it on the Vatican’s Christmas celebrations website.
They’ve already got information up from last night and will have a lot more as the day goes on including live broadcasts produced by the Vatican Television Center.
Here’s an excerpt from the midnight Mass homily:
Heaven does not belong to the geography of space, but to the geography of the heart. And the heart of God, during the Holy Night, stooped down to the stable: the humility of God is Heaven. And if we approach this humility, then we touch Heaven. Then the Earth too is made new. With the humility of the shepherds, let us set out, during this Holy Night, towards the Child in the stable! Let us touch God’s humility, God’s heart! Then his joy will touch us and will make the world more radiant. Amen.
