PRAYING THE WAY OF THE INCARNATION: THE GREAT NATIVITY - DAY 27 NINTH STATION As Mary and Joseph seek a place to stay they are perhaps surprised to find no place, except a manger.

He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
