The rags of our Savior

The rags of our Savior are more precious than royal purple, and his poor manger is more glorious than the gilded thrones of kings. The poverty of Christ is greater riches than all this world’s wealth. For what is richer or more precious than the humility by which heaven is bought and divine grace is obtained? —St. Bernard of Clairvaux, On the Miraculous Nature of the Nativity
