May the Holy Family watch over all child migrants and accompany the vulnerable and the voiceless on their journey. @M_RSection

Unscrupulous exploitation harms young girls and boys who are trafficked and enslaved. May God bless all those who set them free. @M_RSection

Children forced to flee, especially if fleeing alone, are most defenceless and vulnerable. Let's pray for them and help them. @M_RSection

Young migrants, especially when unaccompanied, are especially defenceless. Let everyone offer them a helping hand.

Everyone can help bring about a culture of mercy, in which no one looks at another with indifference.

My hope is that our countries and their peoples may find increased opportunities to work together in building true peace.

There can be no true peace if everyone claims always and exclusively his or her own rights, without caring for the good of others.

Let us ask the Virgin Mary to help us follow Christ on the way of faith and charity, the path set out by our Baptism.

Let us remember our Christian brothers and sisters of the East, Catholics and Orthodox, who are celebrating Christmas today.

Like the Magi, may we also journey and be attentive, untiring and courageous on the path to find the invisible God who was born among us.

May charity and nonviolence govern how we treat each other.

To be true followers of Jesus today also includes embracing his teaching about nonviolence.

May nonviolence become the hallmark of our decisions, our relationships and our actions.

At the beginning of this New Year, I offer heartfelt wishes of peace to the world’s peoples and nations.

Let us entrust the new year to Mary, Mother of God, so that peace and mercy may grow throughout the world.

As we end this year, let us remember the days, weeks and months we have lived in order to give thanks and offer everything to the Lord.

Holy Family of Nazareth, help us all to recognize the sacred nature of the family and its beauty in God’s plan for humanity.

Let us be touched by the tenderness that saves. Let us draw close to God who draws close to us. Let us pause to gaze upon the crib.

God, who is in love with us, draws us to himself with his tenderness, by being born poor and frail in our midst, as one of us.

Christmas has above all a taste of hope because, for all the darkness in our lives, God’s light shines forth.
