I want to begin the homily of this Holy Mass by wishing everyone a happy and holy Christmas. I wish my words could reach everyone who finds themselves alone, sad, lost and tried by any cause! I would tell them, joining the chorus of angels of heaven, that tonight a Savior has been born for them. I would invite them to search in Bethlehem for that star that never fails and will lead them to the manger where, out of love for us, today God allows himself to be seen in the flesh of a newborn Child.
