Following the Urbi et orbi message pronounced at the Loggia of the Vatican Basilica, His Holiness, Pope Francis spoke brief words of greeting to those who were gathered in Saint Peter's Square.
Greetings of His Holiness, Pope Francis
to pilgrims gathered in Saint Peter's Square
To you, dear brothers and sisters, gathered from throughout the world
in this Square, and to all those from different countries who join us through
the communications media, I offer my cordial best wishes for a merry Christmas!
On
this day illumined by the Gospel hope which springs from the humble stable of
Bethlehem, I invoke the Christmas gift of joy and peace upon all: upon children
and the elderly, upon young people and families, the poor and the marginalized.
May Jesus, who was born for us, console all those afflicted by illness and
suffering; may he sustain those who devote themselves to serving our brothers
and sisters who are most in need. Happy Christmas to all!
