The Pope's Christmas Eve Mass - 2016

Pope Francis delivered his annual Christmas Eve Midnight Mass, in Vatican City. He started by emphasizing the plight of children around the world (NBC News), encouraging the faithful to celebrate the birth of Jesus by thinking of disadvantaged children in war-torn regions, and those living in poverty while the wealthy enjoy lives of waste. And he warned of the commercial dangers of the modern Christmas season.
