Here is a quote from the ancient Ambrosian liturgy:
Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the invisible God

And she bore him as a light weight in her womb.
(from Dom Gueranger's The Liturgical Year, Vol I)
Father Euteneur of Human Life International has more on the Nativity film and the birth of Our Lord.
Pray for the new Archbishop of Toronto. He has his work cut out for him.
