who were baptized
into Christ have
clothed yourselves
with Christ.”
~ Galatians 3:27

Homily from Christmas Midnight Mass, Pope Leo XIV, Vatican City, Dec 24, 2025

Our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, delivered a beautiful and compelling homily at his first Christmas midnight Mass as our chief shepherd in Saint Peter’s Basilica. He quoted his immediate predecessors with a compelling message: “These words of Pope Benedict XVI remain a timely reminder that on earth, there is no room for God if there is no room for the human person. To refuse one is to refuse the other. Yet, where there is room for the human person, there is room for God; even a stable can become more sacred than a temple, and the womb of the Virgin Mary become the Ark of the New Covenant.” Click for the full text of the pontiff’s homily.
