"For a child is born to us..." ~Isaiah 9:6
"Again and again it astonishes us that God makes himself a child so that we may love him, so that we may dare to love him, and as a child trustingly lets himself be taken into our arms. It is as if God were saying: I know that my glory frightens you, and that you are trying to assert yourself in the face of my grandeur. So now I am coming to you as a child, so that you can accept me and love me." ~Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at Midnight Mass, 12/24/12
"And our eyes at last shall see him,
Through his own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heav'n above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he has gone."
