Why THE STAR, Lord?

Wouldn't the warm sun be better -- the brightness of day, the crowds, and the confusion?

Who seeks out the night? Who prefers silence in order to meditate, in order to find oneself, in order to ask "why?"

And the Lord answered me in the sighing of the wind. Listen, little creature...

I came as a BABY so that the great could be small and the strong could be weak.

I came IN THE STABLE so that people's hearts could be warmer and their minds firmer.

I came FROM A VIRGIN so that pure love could be even greater than ever.

I came TO THE SHEPHERDS so that kings could learn to imitate them.

I came WITH THE STAR so that it could enlighten the night in which people live and open up their hard hearts.

I will come to you, my little child, because you are the garden in which the power of my love will make the delicate plant of the infinite flourish -- if you want that to happen.
