"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

Happy Feast Day !
Today is the transferred Solemnity of the Annunciation. Happy Feast Day!
So, the Lord of the World will, this Christmas, be born not only in an insanitary stable, into a middling tradesman's family, in an obscure town, in a subjugated country at the periphery of a great empire, but also - thanks to the transferred date - as a premature baby!
