“I entreat you to let our chief care be to purify our souls, in order to make them capable of receiving the fruits of this holy nativity. Empty your heartsĀ  of every other desire but that of receiving in them this Divine Infant, Who, when He finds them thus disposed, will assuredly be born there, and we shall dwell with Him eternally.”

St. Jane de Chantal, Exhortation v 1629
