"During this Christmas, choked by the darkness of hatred and war, let us kneel before the empty manger in which Mary laid the Child Jesus after giving birth to Him and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and let us make our own the prayer of St. John Paul II:
"Dry the tears of children, O child Jesus. Caress the sick and the elderly, urge men to lay down their arms and to embrace each other in a universal embrace of peace.Invite peoples, O merciful Jesus, to tear down the walls created by misery and unemployment, by ignorance and indifference, by discrimination and intolerance.
"It is you, O Divine Child of Bethlehem, Who saves us, freeing us from sin. You are the true and only Saviour Whom humanity so often gropes for. God of peace, gift of peace for all humanity, come and live in the heart of every person and every family. Be Thou our peace and our joy. Amen.
