During his weely Wednesday audience last Wednesday, Pope Benedict XVI said: "perhaps the world crisis that is affecting so many families and all of humanity could be the stimulus for rediscovering the warmth, simplicity, amity, and solidarity which are the very values of Christmas. Stripped of its materialistic and consumer trappings, Christmas offers a chance to welcome as a personal gift the message of hope that eminates from the mystery of Christ's birth. Even a nonbeliever can perceive something special, transcendent and intimate that speaks to the heart."
