Ħafna jammettu li żmien il-Milied “inqabad” f’nofs polemika. Min-naħa hemm dawk li għalihom kolloxjitqies li jagħmel parti mill-”ispirtu” ta’ dawn il-ġranet. Min-naħa l-oħra ma jonqsux dawk li jsostnu li hemm ħafna x’wieħed inaddaf, jew aħjar x’għandu jkun dak li jagħti tifsira xierqa lit-twelid ta’ Kristu.
Dan ta’ l-aħħar hu nkluż fil-għan li qed joffrilna Mons. Isqof Cauchi fil-ktieb tiegħu f’ġabra ta’ 31 meditazzjoni mibnija fuq persunaġġi, xbiehat, figuri jew wegħdiet oħrajn meħudin mill-Antik Testment. Iservu ta qari spiritwali li fl-istess ħin jiġbru l-istorja sħiħa tas-salvazzjoni mifruxa fuq eluf ta’ snin. Ilkoll f’rabta ma’ l-imwiegħed Messija waqt li joffru katekeżi biblika li twassa għall-milja taż-żmien fi Kristu, imma fuq kollox għat-tisħiħ tal-ħajja nisranija.

The message was presented to the media by Cardinal Renato Martino, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, today, 11 December 2008, during a Press Conference held at the Press Office of the Holy See, in Rome.
Benedict XVI’s Message, said Cardinal Martino, “returns to and develops the Message of John Paul II for the World Day of Peace 1993, which explained the reciprocal connections and conditions existing between poverty and peace”. This time the Holy Father “shows us how peace and the fight against poverty intersect: a given that constitutes one of the most stimulating assumptions, giving a proper cultural, social, and political focus to the complex themes tied to the achievement of peace in our day, which is characterized by the phenomenon of globalization”.
