The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda tells us about when, at the age of 1-year, the infant Jesus spoke directly to Joseph for the first time and speaking to His Mother, requests clothing allowing Him to walk. He begins to celebrate the day of His Incarnation and that of His birth. The Blessed Virgin Mary reminds all of us about the importance of poverty in the life of Christ saying, "My daughter, neither yourself nor all creatures together can ever comprehend the spirit of poverty of my most holy Son, and what He has taught me concerning it. But from what I have told you you can understand much of the excellence of this virtue, which its Author and Teacher loved so much, and of the horror in which He holds the vice of covetousness. The Creator cannot hate the beings which He has created, but He knows in his wisdom the boundless damage caused in mortals by avarice and covetousness of visible things; and that this insane love would pervert the greater part of the human nature. His horror of this vice was in proportion to the number of sinners and foredoomed ones, who are lost by the vice of avarice and covetousness."
