“As Christmas approaches, our hearts turn to the Lord and to His coming into the world. We remember the fragile baby boy, born in a lowly manger in Bethlehem. This reminds us of the humility and loving generosity of God towards every human being. The eternal word assumes our flesh. This is the source of our hope, for now every human life is clearly of eternal significance.”
+ Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster
