If the Babe had not lain in the manger, then the
Man would not have been nailed to the tree, and
the Lamb that was slain would not have taken
His place on the Everlasting Throne.

Christmas renews our youth by stirring our wonder.
The capacity for wonder has been called our
most pregnant human faculty, for in it are born
our art, our science, our religion.

The divine condescension never appears
so new and so real to us as when we stand
at the side of this lowly cradle.

A barn with cattle and horses is the place to begin
Christmas; after all, that's where the original
event happened, and that same smell was the first
air that the Christ Child breathed.
