Pope Leo

Dear brothers and sisters, whether we have the gift of faith or feel we lack it, let us open ourselves to peace! Let us welcome it and recognize it, rather than believing it to be impossible and beyond our reach. Peace is more than just a goal; it is a presence and a journey. Even when it is endangered within us and around us, like a small flame threatened by a storm, we must protect it, never forgetting the names and stories of those who have borne witness to it. Peace is a principle that guides and defines our choices. Even in places where only rubble remains, and despair seems inevitable, we still find people who have not forgotten peace. Just as on the evening of Easter Jesus entered the place where his disciples were gathered in fear and discouragement, so too the peace of the risen Christ continues to pass through doors and barriers in the voices and faces of his witnesses. This gift enables us to remember goodness, to recognize it as victorious, to choose it again, and to do so together.

Points to Ponder

In the 2,000 plus years that have unfolded since that night in Bethlehem, certainly there are instances when darkness has been diminished, when hurts have been healed, when pain has been alleviated, when the human spirit has shone with compassion, and inclusivity, and hospitality. Yet, we still experience so much darkness in the world.

‘The light shines in the darkness,’ writes John. And maybe that’s the thing. Maybe that’s the gospel writer’s point. It is not that the light obliterates the darkness; it is simply that the light is there, sometimes helping to change a situation, and making it much better, but more often the light is a steady, (albeit flickering) constant, faithful presence. This, I think, is the message of the incarnation, the story behind the story that we will tell each other this day. God enters into the darkness to sit alongside of us as a Providential advocate, a Providential presence – God with us – Emmanuel. God refuses to dwell in the heavens above and from a safe distance watch the drama of human life play out. Instead, our Provident God climbs right into the darkest places to be with us; and in that holy and luminous action, we find reason enough to hope. So, wherever there is darkness in your life, in my life, any where in our world, we can be absolutely sure – that our Provident God, our Emmanuel, God with us is there too – a Light in our darkness. And because we are in relationship with the Provident God who is the Light, THE Source of the Light, we, too are called to be Light.

A Prayer for

New Beginnings 

Consult not your fears, but your hopes and your dreams.   Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern not yourself with what you tried and failed in, but what it is still possible to do. Now is the time to put aside past and present setbacks and failures and look with confidence to the new day called tomorrow.

—Pope John XXIII

Pope Leo

Dear brothers and sisters, on this Solemnity, at the beginning of the new year, and as we approach the conclusion of the Jubilee of Hope, let us draw near to the Nativity scene in faith. Let us approach it as the place of “unarmed and disarming” peace par excellence – a place of blessing where we recall the wonders the Lord has worked in the history of salvation and in our own lives.
