Let us come close to the
crib.
If you love riches, you will
find the gold that the kings brought;
if you are looking for the
smoke of hours, you will find that in the incense;
and if you take delight in
the delicacies of the senses,
you will find the delicate
perfume of myrrh that pervades the stable.
Be rich in love for this
adorable Saviour,
respectful in the familiarity
with which you relate to Him,
and delight in the joy of
experiencing in your soul
so many inspirations and
affections,
because you belong
exclusively to
Him.
(St. Francis de Sales)
