The kingdom of God… began on earth when the Blessed Virgin spoke her “Be it unto me”, and she was its first handmaid. And all those who have confessed the Child by word and deed before and after His birth, St. Joseph, St. Elizabeth with her son and all those surrounding the crib have entered the kingdom of God.
Saint Edith Stein
Stein, E 1931, The mystery of Christmas: incarnation and humanity, translated from the German by Rucker, J, Darlington Carmel, Darlington UK.
