    Archbishop,

    “This day I have begotten you….” is NOT Christmas. Jesus was begotten at the moment of His conception. Christmas is the day when mankind first saw the Face of God. I heard you say this years ago; apparently you have forgotten. I am saddened to read these words of our beloved Holy Father.
