Ave Maria!— December’s Theme: Humility
“Which and how many, O Christians, are the lessons that come from the grotto of Bethlehem! Oh! How must the heart feel itself inflamed with love for Him Who made Himself all tenderness for us! Oh! How we must burn with the desire of leading the whole world to this humble grotto, haven for the King of kings, greater than any human palace because it was the throne and dwelling place of God! Let us ask this divine Child to clothe us with humility, because only with this virtue can we enjoy this mystery filled with divine tenderness.”
