<p>The Archbishop of Westminster is due to urge people struggling with faith to &#8220;reach out&#8221; to the extended hand of God.</p>
<p>The Most Rev Vincent Nichols will draw on the depiction, in the BBC drama The Nativity, of Joseph struggling to believe that Mary&#8217;s child is the son of God.</p>
<p>At Westminster Cathedral&#8217;s midnight mass, the most senior Roman Catholic in England and Wales will say: &#8220;This holy night is as important as ever. On this night there will be many sharing Joseph&#8217;s struggle for faith.</p>
<p>&#8220;May they, too, reach out and accept the outstretched hand of God coming to us in the child so as to be close to us in our vulnerability.&#8221;</p>
<p>The archbishop will also reflect on Pope Benedict&#8217;s visit to Britain in September, saying it restored the confidence of Catholics.</p>
<p>&#8220;The marvellous scenes during the apostolic visit of Pope Benedict in September suggested that faith in God is like an underground stream,&#8221; he will say.</p>
<p>&#8220;Largely invisible, the stream nurtures so much fertile growth on a rocky landscape, and only every now and then, burst out in a glorious and reassuring sight.</p>
<p>&#8220;The visit strengthened our faith and restored so much of our confidence.</p>
<p>&#8220;Indeed, faith in God is not a problem to be solved but a gift to be discovered afresh, and a gift which serves the deepest good of our society.&#8221;</p>
