Lest God’s presence inspire fear, he makes himself a tender Child. ‘Be not afraid’; these words were not spoken to saints but to shepherds, simple people who in those days were certainly not known for their refined manners and piety. The Son of David was born among shepherds in order to tell us that never again will anyone be alone and abandoned; we have a Shepherd who conquers our every fear and loves us all, without exception.

Bethlehem is the turning point that alters the course of history. There, God, in the house of bread, is born in a manger. It is as if he wanted to say: “Here I am, as your food”. He does not take, but gives us to eat; he does not give us a mere thing, but his very self.

I want to come to Bethlehem, Lord, because there you await me. I want to realize that you, lying in a manger, are the bread of my life. I need the tender fragrance of your love so that I, in turn, can be bread broken for the world.

Let us look to the crib and pray, asking the Blessed Mother: “O Mary, show us Jesus!”.

Today, as we commemorate the feast of the Holy Innocents, I would like us to renew our complete commitment to ensuring that (these) atrocities will no longer take place in our midst. Let us find the courage needed to take all necessary measures and to protect in every way the lives of our children, so that such crimes may never be repeated. In this area, let us adhere, clearly and faithfully, to 'zero tolerance’.

Christmas is a time for turning the power of fear into the power of charity, into power for a new imagination of charity.

The shepherds are the first to hear this Good News. Yet to them – pagans, sinners and foreigners – the angel says: “Do not be afraid; for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord”.

Through the course of history, the light that shatters the darkness reveals to us that God is Father and that his patient fidelity is stronger than darkness and corruption. This is the message of Christmas night.
