print excerpts each week from Pope
Francis’s Apostolic Letter, Admirable
Signum or Enchanting Image:
I would like now to reflect on the various elements of the nativity
scene in order to appreciate their deeper meaning. First, there is
the background of a starry sky wrapped in the darkness and si-
lence of night. We represent this not only out of fidelity to the
Gospel accounts, but also for its symbolic value. We can think of
all those times in our lives when we have experienced the dark-
ness of night. Yet even then, God does not abandon us, but is
there to answer our crucial questions about the meaning of life.
Who am I? Where do I come from? Why was I born at this time
in history? Why do I love? Why do I suffer? Why will I die? It
was to answer these questions that God became man. His close-
ness brings light where there is darkness and shows the way to
those dwelling in the shadow of suffering.
