Keep your eyes on the prince of peace, the one who doesn’t cling to his divine power; the one who refuses to turn stones into bread, jump from great heights, and rule with great power…; the one who touches the lame, the crippled, and the blind, the one who speaks words of forgiveness and encouragement….Keep your eyes on him who becomes poor with the poor, weak with the weak. He is the source of all peace.

Advent and Christmas Wisdom, Henri Nouwen
