And so it is with the greatest life ever lived. It was what is was because the spirit housed in the body provided by Mary was the greatest of all the primeval hosts. Before Bethlehem, before the Holy Land, before the earth itself, before the universe and the whole sidereal heavens, before all things, was Christ our Lord. He who was to breathe his first breath of mortal life in a little-known Judean village was the Eternal One whose goings forth had been from of old, from everlasting. Bethlehem was not the beginning. It was simply a way station along an eternal course. And he who found rest in a stable because there was no room in the inns was simply abiding with the animals for a moment as he rested from those creative enterprises by which he made the worlds and all things that in them are.
