Pope Leo XIV's Christmas day homily



Here is the full text of the English translation of his homily:


Dear brothers and sisters,

“Break forth together into songs of joy” (Is 52: 9), cries the messenger of peace to those standing amid the ruins of a city in desperate need of rebuilding. Though dusty and wounded, his feet are beautiful, writes the prophet (cf. Is 52: 7), because, along rugged and weary roads they have carried a glad announcement in which everything is reborn. A new day has dawned! We too are part of this new beginning, even if few as yet believe it: peace is real, and it is already among us.

Snip...
