The Magi and Worship of All Nations

I was meditating on the Apostolic Letter, Patris Corde, from His Holiness Pope Francis and a sincere respect was fortified in his letter to the reality of all nations coming to recognize the birth of a newborn babe born in a stable.

And in the eyes of a just man named Joseph "He witnessed the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi, who represented, respectively, the people of Israel and the pagan peoples" (Patris Corde, Pope Francis).

At a disposition of respecting the boundaries of judgement and the human conscience, he saw the reality of knowledge that a respect came from pagan peoples and simple poorfolk that the "self-righteous" could not even deliver as a worship in the name of "Protestant Christian."

Truly, I believe justice only comes from the just.
