As with the tradition, the Catholic Pope Francis has released his Christmas message for the season.
The papal head reminded Christians as well as others, not to forget what made initially made Christmas worthwhile; love for neighbor.
He further urged people to take care of the poor, needy and weak, especially those hit most by the Covid-19 epidemic.
For it to be truly #Christmas, let us not forget this: God comes to be with us and asks us to take care of our brothers and sisters, especially the poorest, the weakest, the most fragile, whom the pandemic risks marginalising even more.

He had previously urged Christians to imbibe humility and simplicity, taking note from the birth of Jesus Christ in a manger.
Let us allow ourselves to be evangelized by the humility of #Christmas, of the manger, of the poverty and simplicity with which the Son of God entered the world. Let us allow ourselves to be evangelized by the humility of the Child Jesus.
