The entire human race had a place, and the Lord about to be born on earth had none. He found no room among men. He found no room in Plato, none in Aristotle, but in a manger, among beasts of burden and brute animals, among the simple, too, and the innocent. For that reason, the Lord says in the Gospel: "The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
-- Jerome in Homilies on the Psalms

Greetings of the season! This is another SOUNDBITE that got me thinking (they do that quite often).. Isn't the real message that there's room everywhere for Him? Certainly there's room in the hearts of every person if we just acknowledge His presence...
ReplyDeleteThanks for these emails that keep me focused. What a gift you are!
