The Virgin Mary and Her Divine Child

The holy hour has struck...  It is midnight!  Mary and Joseph enter into an ineffable rapture of adoration, love and joy...  And the Word of the Most High, Infinite Wisdom, the Emmanuel, God become a child, is at His Mother’s feet, holding out His little hands and eager to rest upon Her Heart.  Like a ray of sunlight, which pierces a limpid crystal without shattering it, the God of virgins has left Mary’s most pure womb, and now He is there before Her, full of grace and truth, through Her first tears and Her first smile.

While there is no emotion comparable to that of a young mother receiving her newborn child in her arms, what was not the wonderment of Mary, taking from the straw and enveloping in Her first embrace, the blessed fruit of Her virginity!

Bl. Canon Alfred Weber, Notre Bonne Mère ou le Trésor du fervent serviteur de Marie – Our Good Mother, or the Treasure of the fervent Servant of Mary
