Angelus - Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (8 January 2012)
"Being born is never a choice, we are not asked first whether we wish to
be born. Yet, in life, we can develop a free attitude with regard to
life itself: we can regard it as a gift and, in a certain sense “become”
what we are: children. This transition marks a turning point of
maturity in our existence and in our relationship with our parents,
which is filled with gratitude."
