In all
simplicity
you allow
for your son
to be born.
Mary was
rejected
when it
became clear
that she
was pregnant
and Joseph
was not the father.
The newly
pregnant mother
had to fear
for her life.
But in the
midst of all the difficulties
you had a
plan.
Joseph had
no other choice
but to take
along
his highly
pregnant wife
on the
strenuous trip
from
Nazareth to Bethlehem.
When they
arrived there
no place
was prepared
for the
arrival of your son,
no housing,
no hygiene,
no help
from anyone.
Only
afterwards
did Mary
and Joseph
find out
that you had twice announced
the arrival
of your son.
The shepherds
saw and heard the angels
that had
appeared to them.
The wise
men knew how to read the stars
and went on
their way in time.
But not
spectacular at all
was the
birth in the stable.
Lower than
that
no human
could have seen
the light
of the world.
As the
highest king,
you had
chosen the lowest path
for your
son.
Let us not
feel too good
to walk
that path as well.
Theme: God does not even spare his son to walk the
lowest path
