CWN Editor's Note: On Gaudete Sunday, following his Angelus address, Pope Francis blessed the bambinelli, as is customary.
“And now I will bless the bambinelli, the little statuettes of the Infant Jesus that you, dear boys and girls, have brought here and then, returning home, will place in the Nativity scene,” he said. “I invite you to pray, before the crèche, that the Nativity of the Lord will bring a ray of peace to children all over the world, especially those forced to live the terrible and dark days of war, this war in Ukraine that destroys many lives, so many lives, and many children. “
