A Christmas Meditation

Under the dim light of a lamp Mary most holy contemplated the newborn Infant. In him she noticed her own features and with trembling tenderness and love she placed on that face the first kiss. Over that Infant who was the Son of God, but also her son, she rejoiced as no other mother in the world ever has for the birth of her child. Enraptured, she must have adored and contemplated, unable to express her sentiments.
