Every year I am struck by the poverty of the Nativity Scene: The Almighty God taking on the frailty of our human condition, being born in poverty to poor, insignificant parents. How can we not take this lesson from the manger scene: That God sees as the most important the ones who are least important to the world ... that he loves his poor little ones like you and me ... may we welcome him anew in our hearts this Christmastime!
