In his Urbi et Orbi message on Christmas Pope Leo focused on Jesus as peace. “Jesus is our peace; he has conquered hatred and enmity through God’s merciful love...Jesus Christ is our peace first of all because he frees us from sin...he shows us the way to overcome conflicts...Without a heart freed from sin, a heart that has been forgiven, we cannot be men and women of peace or builders of peace.” Leo ended with the poem “Wildpeace” by Yehuda Amichai: Not the peace of a cease-fire/not even the vision of the wolf and the lamb/but rather/as in the heart when the excitement is over/and you can talk about a great weariness./A peace/without the big noise of beating swords into ploughshares,/without words, without/the thud of the heavy rubber stamp: let it be/light, floating, like lazy white foam./Let it come/like wildflowers,/suddenly, because the field/must have it: wildpeace.
