Turn your thoughts for a moment from merry making and realize that today, and indeed, every day, in ghettos, in barrios, in places torn by war, in the midst of hunger, or oppression, or any of the terrible torments that humankind suffers, a mother takes her newborn child, wraps him tenderly in whatever rags she can provide, and hopes. That is the miracle, that is what is truly holy.
Let us honor that miracle by rededicating ourselves to the cause of peace on Earth and goodwill to all men.
