The refusal of the people of Bethlehem to give shelter to the Holy Couple reminds us of the refusal of today's Catholics to maintain their Faith and traditions.

We pray that those few who are faithful in these difficult days - like the few who gather at the Manger - may persevere with the certainty that from the small remnant to which they belong, a new era of History will come for the greater glory of God.
