Dear Father Donald,
It can be that when the crescendo of Advent has passed into the Alleluia
of Christmas, that my spirit is played out.
But you have furnished such treasures on your Blog as to fill my
soul with deep joy, reflection, and consolation.
The striking writings of Luisa Piccarreta (Wikipedia supplying biographical detail) hearing 'as before
the Crib' the cry of the Infant King...
"While
I sleep, do not leave Me alone but wait for Me to awaken so that at the end of
my sleep, I may awaken to your ‘I love you’.
And Newman with his remarkable incisiveness...
"His life lay not in man's breath, or man's
smile; it was hid in Him from whom He came and to whom He returned... He came
to it as a benefactor, not as a guest; not to borrow from it, but to impart to
it"
And Columba Marmion (books I treasure, thank you!)...
"Through the Word made flesh God intends to
recreate all things. This plan is the mystery... an ever-present
mystery... hidden in God's mind from the beginning of time: the fullness
of divine life is in Jesus Christ, and this
fullness is to overflow to us and to the entire human race...to be shared with
us through grace"
And I must mention! your hugely entertaining 'guide' as to the use of an iPAD, was greatly enjoyed by friend Jim, and indeed by four others who possess an iPad! It was a delight!
The JOY we share as Christmas sees us stand
together outside the stable, is that not such as the shepherds shared together
and the wise men shared together in their delight!
Truly all they had seen and talked about, we share
and treasure with Mary in her heart!
With my love at the door of the stable,
William
