Dear young people, please, donโt be observers of life, but get involved. Jesus did not remain an observer, but he immersed himself. Donโt be observers, but immerse yourself in the reality of life, as Jesus did.
Pope FrancisIf God, in the Christmas mystery, reveals himself not as One who remains on high and dominates the universe, but as the One who bends down, descends to the little and poor earth, it means that, to be like him, we should not put ourselves above others, but indeed lower ourselves, place ourselves at the service of others, become small with the small and poor with the poor. It is regrettable to see a Christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve. A Christian who struts about is ugly: this is not Christian, it is pagan.
Pope Francis
