The Son of God was born an outcast, in order to tell us that every outcast is a child of God.” In Bethlehem, rich and poor come together, those who worship, like the Magi, and those who work, like the shepherds.” Why was he born at night without decent accommodation, in poverty and rejection, when he deserved to be born as the greatest of kings in the finest of palaces?

He tells the shepherds how to find the God who has come down to earth: ‘This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.’ That is the sign. A child, a baby lying in the dire poverty of a manger.” This is how Pope Francis began his Christmas Eve message last year at St.
