In his traditional Christmas sermon Pope Benedict XVI focused on the needy around the world, praising the work of the Church to help relieve suffering.
The Archbishop of Canterbury in his Christmas sermon focused on present society which forces children to grow up too soon.
Both are right, of course.
Inspiring as these homilies were, I warmed to the sentiments of the Bishop of Exeter who felt folk should try to live out their dreams for Christmas 2009 and into 2010 rather than merely wish for things they didn’t think would happen.
It’s an interesting thought. Not just to dream but to take action to bring them about.
Which, is what I think the Pope and the Archbishop were also saying in their own way.
