The recognition of each person’s dignity and of the value of family as living cell of society is today the most precious gift that culture, economics and politics can offer to God who became man and to the Holy Family of Nazareth.

Best wishes for a true and joyful Christmas 2011.

Ennio Cardinale Antonelli
