Like the dawning of the morning,
On the mountain’s golden heights,
Like the breaking of the moonbeams
On the gloom of cloudy nights.
Like a secret told by angels,
Getting known upon the earth,
Is the Mother’s expectation
Of Messiah's speedy birth.
-Father Faber
For Reflection:
What is my “expectation” for this Christmas time? How can I unite myself to Our Lady in this regard? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for one possible “expectation.”)
