The Lowly Stable

"Lord Jesus, open my eyes that I may see You hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, and imprisoned, that I may come to You with a generous helping hand. Let me know the joy of giving that I may become always more generous and escape from my own selfishness. Help me to find You, as the shepherds did, in the lowly stable. Amen."
~Benedict Groeschel

As Henri Nouwen said concerning compassion, "to not reach down from our high position to pull up those less fortunate but to go and make our home with them. For we have a God who did not pull us up but came and made His home with us."
