The fire lightcasts its soft glow
on Mary's face
as she preparesfor the birth of her son.
The animals wait too
in quiet anticipation
for the new baby
that will soon be sharing
their manger.
Scholars watch the stars.
Shepherds sleep in the cold.
In another place
and another time,
brought together by worship
and sacrament,
a poor man named Francis
gets on his knees
and worships the Savior.
