The Holy Father underlined the need "for each child coming into the world to be welcomed into the warmth of a family."
He continued: "Exterior comforts are not important. Jesus was born in a stable and his first cradle was a manger, but the love of Mary and Joseph made him feel the tenderness and beauty of being loved."
"This is what children need: the love of a father and mother," Benedict XVI stated.
He added, "This is what gives them a sense of security and, as they grow, enables them to discover the meaning of life."
The Pontiff acknowledged that the Holy Family went through many trials such as "the massacre of the innocents, which forced Joseph and Mary to flee to Egypt."
"But, trusting in Divine Providence, they found their stability and ensured Jesus had a serene infancy and a solid education," he added.

Pontiff Affirms Mystery of Childbirth
Stresses Child's Need for Parental Love
VATICAN CITY, JAN. 1, 2011 (Zenit.org).
Ovo mi je tako lijepo podsjećanje na vezu između Isusovog rođenja i našeg prihvaćanja djece u obitelj i važnost poroda.
Inače imam jedno pitanjce za vas, moja me kćer stalno pita da li ona može biti ministrant ili svećenik, barem ako se svi dečki razbole ili se svećeniku pokvari auto i ne može doći na misuIgra se mise kod kuće i tako... Sve sam joj objasnila kako je to u KC i da može u časne, ali njoj se sviđaju svećenićke halje, a tek roze od biskupa LOL Uglavnom ima te li neku ideju kako da joj poziv časne učinim bližim i privlačnijim od svećenićkog, u našoj župi baš i nisu vidljive časne sestre.
