“Only the humble believe God and rejoice that God is so free and grand, that he works wonders where we lose heart, that he makes splendid what is slight and lowly. Indeed, this is the wonder of wonders, that God loves the lowly. “God has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden.” God in lowliness—that is the revolutionary, the passionate word of Advent.”
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Mystery of Holy Night
