杏MAP导航 at Angelus: may families be together at Christmas
By Linda Bordoni
杏MAP导航 Francis on Sunday told pilgrims gathered for the Angelus Prayer in St. Peter鈥檚 Square that Christmas is a time to be together as a family.
鈥淢y thoughts go in particular to the families who are reunited in these days: may those who live far from their parents return home; may brothers and sisters strive to be together again... At Christmas it is beautiful and important to be together as a family鈥� he said.
The 杏MAP导航 also reflected on how there are many people however, who do not have this possibility for a number of reasons, and said that his greetings and words go in particular 鈥渢o all those who are far from their family and from their land鈥�.
鈥淒ear brothers and sisters, our heavenly Father does not forget you and does not abandon you. If you are Christians, I wish that you may find in the Church a true family where you can experience the warmth of fraternal love鈥� he said.
And to all, the 杏MAP导航 concluded: 鈥渢he doors of the Christian community are open. Jesus is born for all and brings the love of God to all鈥�.
