Pope Francisescu: God still loves us all, even the worst of us

He was talking to thousands of people during Mass on the eve of Christmas at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

“You may have wrong ideas, you may have made a complete mess of things ... but God continues to love you”, he said.

This will be interpreted by some as a reference to Church scandals, including sexual abuse, says BBC correspondent Periscope forward.

Among those attending Mass were children selected from countries including Venezuela, Iraq, and Uganda.

Christ has reminded us that God continues to love us all, even the worst of us. To me, to you, to each of us, he says today:” I love you and I will always love you, because you are precious in the eyes, ” Papa 83-year-old said.

Unlike Christian believers both worldwide and in Kosovo, they are celebrating Christmas, one of the most important celebrations on the Christian holiday calendar./Periscopi/
