Precisely.

Merry Christmas everyone!

And now, a few questions to you from Pope Benedict XVI at the Christmas Midnight Mass in Rome just a few hours ago.
He asked:

"Do we have time for our neighbor who is in need of a word from us, from me, or in need of my affection? For the sufferer who is in need of help? For the fugitive or the refugee who is seeking asylum?

"Do we have time and space for God? Can he enter into our lives? Does he find room in us, or have we occupied all the available space in our thoughts, our actions, our lives for ourselves?"

Do we? Can He? Does He? These questions needed to be asked.

Peace and joy to you and yours and the whole world this Christmas, from me and my family - in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Utah, China, and Rome.
