Benedict XVI on Christmas
"God becomes so close that it is possible to see and touch him. The Church contemplates this ineffable mystery and the liturgical texts of this Season are steeped in wonder and joy; all Christmas carols express this joy. Christmas is the point at which Heaven and earth converge."
Pope Benedict XVI, 4 January 2012, General Audience in Rome.
