| Nativity of Jesus (by Sandro Botticelli) |
He urged
that “hearts should not be closed,” and further explained
that “faith demands… foreigners
be welcomed.” The pontiff’s recent visit
to Myanmar convinced him all the more
that minority groups (such as the Muslim Rohingya
in this predominantly Buddhist country)
must be treated with
dignity.
How can people
move in this merciful direction? Francis invited listeners “to see the defenseless
baby Jesus in the children who
suffer the most from war, migration and
natural calamities caused by man
today.”
