The Italian version of a book by Pope Francis was released on Tuesday 21 November, entitled " Il mio presepe" (Christmas at the Nativity). On the tombstone of St. Ignatius of Loyola, it is written, "Non coerceri a maximo, sed contineri a minimo, divinum est" (Not to be limited by the greatest, and yet to be contained in the tiniest—this is the divine).

The text contains a previously unpublished introduction by Pope Francis and a series of texts, reflections, speeches, and homilies that the Pope has dedicated to the Nativity scene and the characters that populate it. In January 2016 I met the youth of Rieti at the very haven of the Infant Jesus, just above the Nativity shrine. I reminded them, and everyone today, that on Christmas night there are two signs that guide us in recognizing Jesus. One is the sky full of stars. There are many of those stars, an infinite number, but among them all a special star stands out, the one that prompted the Magi to leave their homes and begin a journey, a journey that would lead them where they did not know. It happens the same way in our lives: at a certain moment some special “star” invites us to make a decision, to make a choice, to begin a journey. We must forcefully ask God to show us that star that draws us toward something more than our habits, because that star will lead us to contemplate Jesus, that child who is born in Bethlehem and who wants our full happiness.
