His letters and the memories of his spiritual daughters reveal Christmas as a sacred encounter, a renewal of love in the heart. Padre Pio placed the Nativity scene before his confessional, reminding himself and others that every act of love and repentance is possible because God became man. He would celebrate the Masses with tears of devotion, showing that true joy comes not from the celebrations outside, but from remaining close to Jesus.
