    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more
