God's Sign

 Pope Benedict

God’s sign is the baby in need of help and in poverty. Exactly the same sign has been given to us… God’s sign is simplicity… God’s sign is that he makes himself small for us. This is how he reigns. He does not come with power and outward splendor. He comes as a baby – defenseless ending needed our help. He does not want to overwhelm us with power and outward splendour. He takes away our fear of his greatness. He asks for our love: so he makes himself a child.
