Excerpt
Excerpt: introduction The little stable in Bethlehem was the place where God?s love broke in. And the mysterious men who came from the land of the rising sun followed the star and discovered the place where the secret of love was laid in the manger of the animals, wrapped in swaddling clothes, in the helplessness of a human baby. They discovered the place where God?s love broke in. This is the most important thing for every man, that in his time, at his hour, he discovers the breaking in of God?s love, and that then he follows the star which has fallen into his heart. Let King Herod come then, with his threats, and drive those who follow the star and who come to the star of love, from the country, indeed drive the divine Child himself out of the country--it means nothing for those who follow the star. And the angel of the Lord will protect the revelation of love in the midst of times of the greatest hatred and of the heaviest darkness which has spread over the earth.
