Respect Life

To the people, oppressed and suffering, who walked in

darkness, there appeared “a great light”. A truly

“Great” light indeed, because the light which radiates

from the humility of the crib is the light of the new cre-

ation. If the first creation began with light (cf.Gen1:3),

how much more splendid and “great” is the light which

inaugurates the new creation: it is God himself made

man!
