"'Wake up, O man! For your sake God became man' (St. Augustine, 'Sermo,' 185). Wake up, O men and women of the third millennium!

By knocking at our door, he challenges us and our freedom; he calls us to examine how we understand and live our lives."
The above is from Pope Benedict XVI's Christmas message. Read the full text here.
