Paul of the Cross on Holy Night...

"...being born...in such poverty..."

 

I was more deeply recollected with tears, especially at Holy Communion. On this holy night I was recollected, but not to the same extent. I also felt much tenderness, especially remembering the infinite love of our dear God in becoming man, in being born amid such lack of comfort and in such poverty. Then I took my rest in God. ~Paul of the Cross' Diary on December 24, 1720 (32 days of Paul's 40 day Castellazzo Retreat in Vol. 1 on Page 18)
