A Christmas Message
December 28, 2017
ALL WEEK I hoped to get to the computer to wish readers a happy Christmas — but I never made it. Christmas, of course, is not over. At least, I hope it is not over for you. May the Christ child fill your hearts with confidence and courage this season and throughout the coming year.
Welcome, all wonders in one sight!
Eternity shut in a span;
Summer in winter; day in night;
Heaven in earth, and God in man.
Great little one, whose all-embracing birth
Lifts earth to heaven, stoops heav’n to earth.
— From “The Holy Nativity of Our Lord” by Richard Crashaw (1612-1649)
