Heaven does not belong to the geography of space, but
to the geography of the heart. And the heart of God, during the Holy Night,
stooped down to the stable: the humility of God is Heaven. And if we approach
this humility, then we touch Heaven. Then the Earth too is made new. With the
humility of the shepherds, let us set out, during this Holy Night, towards the
Child in the stable! Let us touch God's humility, God's heart! Then his joy
will touch us and will make the world more radiant. Amen.
Pope Benedict XVI
Christmas Homily, 2007
