“Engaging in this work can allow us to sow those seeds of blessing that Bach put to music, and it can help us begin to even dimly resemble that foretaste of true bliss that is present in every refugee’s story of finding a home again — including the one of Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child that we celebrate every year in the Christmas story. And it’s that true bliss that comes from a bit of heaven showing up right here on earth. When we welcome the refugee amongst us, so too do we welcome Christ to come down from heaven and dwell with us again.”
