St. Francis of Assisi Began the Tradition of the Nativity Scene
During the Mass, Francis told the Christmas story from the Bible and then delivered a sermon. He spoke to the people gathered there about the first Christmas and the miraculous impact that placing their faith in Christ, the baby born in a simple manger in Bethlehem, could make in their lives. Francis urged people to reject hatred and embrace love, with God’s help.
Little Sister Magdeliene
"In the face of hatred and anger of the world, we must bring the gentleness and the smile of the infant Jesus of Bethlehem. In the face of the pride of the world, we must bring the littleness and the powerlessness of the tiny, newborn baby of the crib."
Christ & Lao Tzu Shared Similar Ideas
"The sage has no mind of his own.
He is aware of the needs of others.
I am good to people who are good.
I am also good to people who are not good.
Because Virtue is goodness.
I have faith in people who are faithful.
I also have faith in people who are not faithful.
Because Virtue is faithfulness."
