On the evening of December 24, Pope Francis presided over the Christmas Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica. The Child Jesus, he said in his homily, “teaches us what is truly essential in our lives,” and from his birth, for simple-hearted people, “the path of true liberation and lasting redemption” begins. “He calls us to behave in a sober manner, that is, in a simple, balanced, straightforward manner, capable of identifying and living what is essential.”
