Opis

The chapters are: Flower of Babies was Their King The Name We Love Best The King's Feast Candlemas Day The Gift of a Pope Easter The Cloud With the Silver Lining A Home of the Blessed Sacrament The Sacred Heart The Prince of the Apostles The Childhood of St. Dominic The Assumption of Our Lady October Roses The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin This book commences: OF all the feasts in the year there is no feast for little children like Christmas, the day on which our dear Lord became one of them Everything about it is easy to understand, and very delightful. In the church there will be a wonderful Crib with certainly the dear little ChristChild in it, and our Lady and St. Joseph. Probably, too, there will be a donkey and a cow, possibly even some shepherds with nice woolly sheep. Once I happened to go into a church where there was just such a Crib, and what do you think I saw in it? A real, live, little baby of about four years old, who had wandered in from the street, and, seeing the stable, had climbed over the rail in front, and was close up to the manger playing with one of the woolly lambs I suppose it was a little naughty, but I could not help feeling rather sorry when someone came and lifted the poor babe out and sent it away. One of the best ways to learn about Christmas is to go and kneel quietly in front of the Crib, look at it, and think for a little while. All kinds of thoughts and feelings will crowd into mind and heart. You will find yourself asking questions of your own soul.
