His heart was especially drawn to the Baby Jesus, and his devotion often left those around him amazed. On Christmas Eve, witnesses saw him transformed with light and wonder, holding the living Christ child in his arms. Even the long, cold Midnight Masses could not diminish the glow of his joy, which touched everyone present. Padre Pio reminds us that the greatest gift of Christmas is not found under a tree but in the birth of Our Lord, who came to bring hope, love, and salvation. These moments encourage reflection on the true meaning of the season and invite all to approach Christmas with a renewed sense of awe and gratitude.
