"He shall have pity on the lowly and poor; he shall preserve the lives of the needy. He shall redeem their lives from oppression and violence, and dear shall their blood be in his sight."

    - Psalm 72

Paramount to God's plan, is the care for the needy and oppressed. It is obviously a priority to Him. Throughout the Old Testament, which modern deniers love to quote and point out "inconsistencies" is this concept: care for the needy.

On Epiphany, the coming of the Wise Men . . . three men that had power and wealth, we see the emphasis on the care of the needy. His whole point was to save the helpless, and there, bowing before a child, are three men that have it made, in a worldly sense.

And so, we have seen the light. These are the darkest nights of the year. But the light is here.
