若瑟對馬槽裡的耶穌,增長的愛是多麼大啊!馬槽一景向我們展示若瑟向嬰孩耶穌的讚嘆與祈禱。當他不得不帶耶穌逃去埃及時,他對耶穌的愛又增長了多少!在納匝肋親密的家庭生活裡,更是如此!(RSP, p. 446)
How much the love for Jesus grew in Joseph, in the Manger! The Nativity scene always presents us with Saint Joseph in the act of admiring and praying to the Child. How much the love for Jesus grew when he had to flee with him to Egypt! And especially in the intimacy of the house of Nazareth! (RSP, p. 446).
