Vatican.

Pope Francis on Sunday told pilgrims gathered for
the Angelus Prayer in St. Peter’s Square that Christmas is a
time to be together as a family.
“My thoughts go in particular to the families who are
reunited in these days: may those who live far from their parents return home;
may brothers and sisters strive to be together again... At Christmas it is
beautiful and important to be together as a family” he said.
The Pope also reflected on how there are many people
however, who do not have this possibility for a number of reasons, and said
that his greetings and words go in particular “to all those who are far from
their family and from their land”.
“Dear brothers and sisters, our heavenly Father does not
forget you and does not abandon you. If you are Christians, I wish that you may
find in the Church a true family where you can experience the warmth of
fraternal love” he said.
And to all, the Pope concluded: “the doors of the Christian
community are open. Jesus is born for all and brings the love of God to all”.
