What pilgrims and beggars and shepherds do on Christmas Eve ...

 

 

Shepherds, you who go

up through the sheepfolds to the hill,

if by chance you see

him I love most,

 tell him I am sick, I suffer, and I die.

- St. John of the Cross

I love the anticipation of Christmas Eve - nothing can restrain love!

"When peaceful stillness compassed everything and the night in its swift course was half spent, Your all-powerful word from heaven's royal throne bounded...  And as he alighted... he still reached to heaven, while he stood upon the earth." - Wisdom 18: 14-16 

Wishing all of my readers and friends a very blessed Christmas...  happy and merry!  Thank you for all of your kindness and generosity towards me.  I pray the Little Jesus grant you every grace and blessing.
