* 14:15 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: Notice the emphasis which the Gospel places on the fact that the infant Jesus truly was set down in a manger, in a food trough for animals.
The Church Herself loves showing us the details that surround the birth of Jesus. There had to have been animals. We sing in one of the responses on Christmas night, “O great mystery! Wondrous marvel! Animals have seen the newborn Savior, laid in a manger.” Animals saw Jesus. The Church is telling us that Jesus is not only the Creator, but He is the Master. All creatures have to render Him homage, even irrational creatures.
