[Holly3278]

Vatican, Dec. 22, 2008 (CWNews.com) - Each year before Christmas, the Pope holds an audience with officials of the Roman Curia, for an exchange of Christmas greetings. Pope Benedict XVI (bio - news) has used these annual occasions as an opportunity to reflect on what he considers the most important issues facing the Church. By looking backward across the events of the past year, the Holy Father gives his subordinates some insights into his plans for Vatican policies in the near future.

With this year’s talk Pope Benedict has signaled that his primary focus for 2009 will be the drive to proclaim the Gospel, energetically and unapologetically, throughout the world during the remainder of the Pauline Year, always relying confidently on the power of the Holy Spirit to guide the Church.

This is awesome! We must proclaim the Gospel energetically and unapologetically as the pope’s primary focus is!
