Gaze first upon the poverty of Jesus, placed in a manger, wrapped in
swaddling clothes. What marvellous humility! What astounding poverty! The King
of angels, Lord of heaven and earth, is laid in a manger. Consider next the
humility, the blessed poverty, the untold labours and burdens which he endured
for the redemption of the human race. Then look upon the unutterable charity
with which he willed to suffer on the tree of the cross and to die thereon the
most shameful kind of death.
Saint Clare of Assisi
