This demented inn

Into this world, this demented inn, in which there
is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ has
come uninvited. But because he cannot be at
home in it, because he is out of place in it, and
yet he must be in it, his place is with those others
who do not belong, who are rejected by power,
because they are regarded as weak, those who
are discredited, who are denied the status of
persons, tortured, exterminated. With those for
whom there is no room, Christ is present in this
world.
-- Thomas Merton

A simple point, but eloquently made.
