Why do we make a romance out of Christmas, when in the lives of the poor, it could have been any other day -- except for the Incarnation?
Because, possibly, poverty frightens us -- it's particularly scary for the poor. Because it was a long time ago. Because, possibly, poverty isn't something we like to think about.
But, as Bishop McFadden said, Christ has a special love for those who are poor -- and expects that we will take care of them.
There is not much to the Gospel if it is just meant for the those of us who are well to do.
It isn't, perhaps, the Gospel.
