In Heaven, God called together the Celestial Council. The Angels and Archangels looked resplendent in their flowing white robes. They waited in the Sacred Hush for what was to be the announcement of the most crowning event since the morning stars sang together at creation.
The shrill of Heaven’s trumpet proclaiming the entry of the Divine Majesty sounds! God, in unimaginable glory, sits down upon ‘The Great White Throne.’ And once more, the Sacred consumes everything as God, our Father, speaks!
” I have summonsed you, to announce that it is because of the cries of pain and the images of cruel injustices affecting Me so urgently that I, Myself, must go down to earth to be with My people. Then I shall give them the greatest gift my love can create, My own dear Son. In Him, My Presence will continue to dwell with my children on earth.
I will carry Him, in my arms, down the ‘back stairs of Heaven’ and leave Him on the world’s doorstep. That way the hearts of my people will open to receive Him and to give Him a ‘Home.'”
Spontaneously, a million voices break into exultant Song:
“Glory To God In The Highest, And on earth
Peace and Goodwill for all!
Glory To God!
Glory To God.”
And in Heaven, there were tears of Joy.
When the singing in Heaven finally ended, the Archangel Gabriel, stood forth.
” O my Father of Light;
Indeed this is the greatest gift that You will ever give to Your world! More significant than the sun, the moon, and the stars altogether. But Father, what if the people fail in their love and their responsibility?”
The ensuing silence was pregnant with the fearful possibility of such a heart- wrenching result.
“But, they will not fail!” came the words which had lent an absolute finality to each command for creation.
” In the secret place of their hearts, I have hidden the majesty of giving themselves to me in love, as I give Myself to them this night. It may take thousands of years, but there will come a time when the whole world will give back the Song to Us which, the Angels just sang this night!
Mary, a young peasant girl from Nazareth and of human stock, in preparation for this night, has provided My Son, His first earthly home, and She has become “My Servant.”
Angels and archangels May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.”
Christmas 2019 arrives in a world amidst the stark evidence of ” Man’s inhumanity to man,” and the amplified voices of disillusioned cynics, announcing that God’s magnificent Plan has failed. But unsubmissively comes a Voice as bright as the sound of a thousand silver trumpets on the frosty air, ” My people will not fail.”
It is our responsibility now, yours and mine, to sharpen the perspective for all people to see God’s greatest gift ever bestowed to this world. That gift which, is the fulfillment of God’s Hope, is that like Mary, we too will be willing servants to make it possible for Jesus to be born anew into the world.
May the Blessings of this glorious Christmas Season be so experienced by you and those of your household to swell the music of Heaven. May the Season be filled with this sound echoing among the hills: ”
” Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let earth receive her king
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing.” Amen.

Frank enjoying your list of readings etc. while not saying too much about them. However I do want to say that they are appreciated.
Since Nov. 7th I have been laid aside through illness when I went into the hospital for an operation, had a bowel blockage which laid me low until almost Christmas when the Dr. gave me my clearance. While I was laid aside I did most of what I ordinarily would do for Xmas and managed well. Tree up, decorations, cards, etc. all with some help. Since then we have someone sleeping at the house overnight as they would not let us stay alone.
However since Xmas came in we have not spent a night home but either with Rosalind or Roxanne. It has all gone very well.
Now at the present time we are planning to go into a home early in the new year. Got a suite at Heritage Square in Long Pond, Con. Bay South which has our name on the door and just waiting for the O.K. We hope they will leave us alone until after it is all over. A big decision but we should have perhaps made the move sometime ago.
So we will be keeping in touch from there in and will keep following your usual good words. We have had a good Xmas going around and it looks as if New Years will shape up as well. We take this time to wish you the joys of the season and a Happy New Year to you and yours and will be in touch when we get settled in. Seems as if everything is going our way now at least. Kind personal regards to you and Vera at this time. Ralph
