God shows Himself to be lovable, full of goodness and gentleness
In the Child Jesus, God shows Himself to be lovable, full of goodness and gentleness. We can truly love a God like that with all our hearts.

God loves to work wonders through our poverty
As he did in Bethlehem, so too with us, God loves to work wonders through our poverty. He placed the whole of our salvation in the manger of a stable. He is unafraid of our poverty, so let us allow his mercy to transform it completely!

We are in great need of tenderness!
Looking at the Nativity scene, we can become a little childlike and allow the wonder of the “marvellous” way in which God wanted to come into the world to be reborn in us. This will revive tenderness in us; and today we are in great need of tenderness!

Peace can become a reality if we begin to be in peace with ourselves and with those who are near us
#Peace can become a reality if we begin to be in peace with ourselves and with those who are near us, removing the obstacles that prevent us from taking care of those who find themselves in need and in indigence. #WorldPeaceDay https://t.co/oIFRche7sz

The blessing and praise that the Lord loves the most is love of neighbour
The blessing and praise that the Lord loves the most is love of neighbour. We praise him for this, because we believe and we know that all the good that is accomplished day after day on earth, in the end, comes from him.

For the many people who, without making noise, have tried to make the weight of this trial more bearable
We thank God for for the good things that have taken place during the pandemic, for the many people who, without making noise, have tried to make the weight of this trial more bearable.

The Son of God comes down from heaven and comes to earth to bring us to heaven!
The Son of God comes down from heaven and comes to earth to bring us to heaven! This is what we need to meditate on, contemplate, what we need to reflect on during #Christmas.

We were thought of before we learned how to think; we were loved before we learned how to love
The #prayer of thanksgiving begins by recognizing that we were thought of before we learned how to think; we were loved before we learned how to love. If we view life like this, then “thank you” becomes the driving force of our day. #GeneralAudience

I pray in particular for those who have lost their lives and for their families

The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God
The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God. He came into the world as each child comes into the world, weak and vulnerable, so that we can learn to accept our weaknesses with tender love.
