"Into
this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at
all, Christ has come uninvited. But because he cannot be at home in it –
because he is out of place in it, and yet must be in it – his place is with
those others who do not belong, who are rejected because they are regarded as
weak; and with those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons,
and are tortured, exterminated. With those for whom there is no room, Christ is
present in this world. He is mysteriously present in those for whom there seems
to be nothing but the world at its worst."
