A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FROM ME!
My Christmas Message this year is addressed especially to families. At the end of this year particularly dedicated to them, our thoughts return there, to the mystery of the Holy Family, from which the celebration began.
The Papal Legate will go once again to Nazareth, on the Feast of the Holy Family, to conclude solemnly this Year in the place sanctified by the humble and hardworking presence of Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
With this Message, I would like to call to mind what I said to the families of the world last February in the special Letter addressed to them. I wish to give thanks for all the fruits which the Year of the Family has produced in the individual Ecclesial Communities and the countries of every continent. Countless initiatives have been promoted during these months on behalf of the family, and the crowning of these took place in the unforgettable gathering of families from all over the world here, in this Square, on 8 and 9 October last. With great joy we celebrated then that great feast in which the family……………….snnnnnnooooooooooooorrrrrreeeeeeee!
Can I go on or what? Obviously Christmas can be a time for family and an opportunity for reflection and introspection for some (refer above). For others it’s just a few days off and bloody good piss up. I’m of the latter (That’s the piss up one in case I got that wrong).
When I think about it, it’s been a really good year. I’ve been all over the place and met plenty of new people. So to all friends old and new I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Wish you all the best for 2006.
Hopefully Santa will have brought me a 15 day World Cup tour with Frank Farina and Robbie Slater and some nicotine patches.
P.S. I’m off to Shangers for Christmas communist style. Hey Eugs! Crack open the Chivas it’s time to party.
