“The world showed little hospitality to our Blessed Lord, who is Master of life and death.
- For His birth, there was available only a rough-and-ready shelter for animals.
- For death, He was given the hard bed of the cross, with a crown of thorns as a pillow; and His hands and feet were tucked into that bed with nails.
The glory of His birth was hidden in the least of the cities of Israel. The meaning of His death was hidden from human eyes in the greatest city of this world. Born in a stranger’s cave, buried in a stranger’s grave.”
~ Ven. Fulton John Sheen
