-   “ Let us all betake ourselves to Bethlehem. Let us go to this poor abandoned stable and contemplate... And what do we see? A poor, rustic manger, where lies on a little straw a poor little child just born, all frozen with the cold,  in the most extreme poverty. And who is this dear little baby?  He is the omnipotent God who has created heaven and earth and to whom all things belong.”  -  Mothe  Marie Dominique Berlamont (+ 1871, Poor Clare Abbess and foundress of many monasteries, often named “Bethlehem”
