When King Herod had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'” (Matthew 2:4-6)

Who were those chosen people? Bishops? Priests? Prophets? The cream of the crop? Hardly. They were ordinary people, called to do extraordinary tasks. Were they any more gifted than you or I? No. The secret was not in what they were but in what Jesus saw in them!
