"His birth is a flowering of new life..."



 
“Truth has sprung out of the earth.”  ~Psalm 85:12
 
Dear brothers and sisters! Kindness and truth, justice and peace have met; they have become incarnate in the child born of Mary in Bethlehem.  That child is the Son of God; he is God appearing in history.  His birth is a flowering of new life for all humanity.  May every land become a good earth which receives and brings forth kindness and truth, justice and peace. Happy Christmas to all of you!  ~Pope Benedict XVI, Urbi et Orbi, Christmas 2012
 
O Divine Child of Bethlehem, may Your holy birth be the flowering of new life within my soul for the glory of the Father and the salvation of the world.  Amen!
