Below is Pope Leo XIV’s “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and to the world) message and blessing on Christmas Day:

“Dear brothers and sisters,

“Let us all rejoice in the Lord, for our Savior has been born in the world. Today, true peace has come down to us from heaven (Entrance Antiphon, Christmas Mass during the Night). Thus sings the liturgy on Christmas night, and the announcement of Bethlehem resounds in the Church: the Child born of the Virgin Mary is Christ the Lord, sent by the Father to save us from sin and death. Indeed, he is our peace; he has conquered hatred and enmity through God’s merciful love. For this reason, ‘the Lord’s birth is the birth of peace’ (Saint Leo the Great, Sermon 26).
