"Mankind is a great, an immense family... This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.""It is the day when we remind ourselves that man can and must live in peace with his neighbors and that it is the peacemakers who are truly blessed."
"Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years... Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart."
"Christmas means so much because of one special child" and that many "of us believe in the divinity of the child born in Bethlehem, that he was and is the promised Prince of Peace."
