Ave Maria!— December’s Theme: Humility
“The heavenly Child suffers and cries in the crib to suffering amiable, meritorious and sought for by us. He lacks everything so that we may learn from Him the renunciation of earthly goods and comforts; He is pleased with humble and poor adorers to induce us to love poverty and to prefer the company of the little ones and the simple to that of the great ones of the world.”
