"Make haste and come down: for this day I must abide in thy house."[1] Jesus tells us to come down; where, then, must we go?. . . At an earlier time the Jews asked Him: "Master, where dwellest Thou."[2] And He said: "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay His head."[3] Behold whereunto we must descend if we would serve as dwellings for Jesus: we must be so poor that we have not where to lay our head.
