"As I enter this Christmas celebration, I find myself thinking about the role of understudies. While understudies are essential on the stage, God does not cast understudies in the world. I don't believe God had understudies for Mary or Joseph. When God thinks of us, God doesn't plan a replacement. Blessed Louis Brisson captured this truth when he said, 'Every individual represents something great.'"
In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on how, as St. Francis de Sales reminds us, "our holiness is found precisely where we are placed."
