where will you
put up the fir tree
that you carry so cheerfully? |
| ... first in Bethlehem, where life is so threatened these days: it will express our hope against all hope that in Jesus there is peace for the future, |
 |
 |
... in all the corners of the world where this spirituality of dialogue is rooted, this art of conversation, this climate of Visitation-Pentecost, indispensable to a true peace, |
| ... on all the lands where conflicts, mourning, despair, terrorism, pain seem to triumph, so that the memory of the Child in the manger, the sole conqueror of evil and death, will not be erased, |
 |
 |
... at the door of all the persons and all the communities who are dear to us, to offer them our gratitude, our friendship, our Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas 2001 and a Happy New Year 2002. |
|
Christmas woodcutters, fix the star firmly at the top of the fir tree,
because the child in the manger is the light of the world.
