The
Message
of
Christmas
By
MOST
REV.
O.
JORDAN,
OMI,
Vicar
Apostolic
of
Prince
Rupert
"It
is
Christmas
again!""
With
that
lightness
of
heart
and
gaiety
we
say
the
words.
Is
there
any
time
of
'
the
year,
any
holi
day
that
inspires
such
spontaneous,
such
universal
Joy
and
gladness?
Men
and
women
the
world
over,
in
every
walk
of
life,
shed
their
care
and
woe
because
Christmas
has
come
once
more.
You
might
say
It
is
magic.
It
s.
It
is
divine
magic.
It
is
a
transformation
wrought
in
our
minds
and
hearts
by
the
coming
of
God's
Son
to
earth.
Christmas
is
the
anniversary
of
His
birth
and
our
happiness
is
an
answer
to
the
Angels'
song:
"Peace
on
earth
to
men
of
good
will."
The
happiness
of
Christmas
Is
given
by
the
Divine
Child.
We
draw
near
His
manger-bed:
we
gaze
enraptured
on
His
baby
charms;
our
hearts
melt
at
the
sight
of
His
gentle
Mother,
bearing
her
Son
In
a
lowly
stable.
'Yet,
consider
that
every
detail
.
of
the
event
was
chosen
by
the
i
Babe
Himself.
Unlike
other
men,
j
this
Man
could
and
did
choose
:
the
conditions
of
His
birth.
Consider
the
possibilities.
He
mght
have
been
an
emperors
son,
born
to
command
Immediate
and
fy
men:
it
was
to
redeem
them
and
to
win
their
love.
The
means
He
used
were
not
the
human
means
of
power,
wealth
or
force;
but
the
divine
means
of
meekness
and
humbleness
heart.
His
coming
to
us
in
not
a
matter
of
overwhelming
our
minds
with
evidence,
but
rather
of
winning
our
hearts
by
affection.
As
He
came
to
us
in
lowliness,
our
approach
to
Him
must
be
in
the
same
spirit
of
humility.
If
we
are
to
see
God
in
the
Divine
Child,
it
must
be
through
faith.
At
the
first
Christmas,
He
gave
our
faith
a
little
help,
for
He
left
no
doubt
concerning
His
humanity:
but
we
shall
never
know
His
divinity
except
by
the
humble
road
of
faith.
Herein
lies
the
essence
of
Christmas
and
all
our
feasting
Is
meaningless
unless
we
recognize
it
"this
day,
there
is
born
to
us
a
Saviour,
Who
Is
Christ
the
Lord."
The
"stable"
In
which
Christ
was
born
did
not
conform
to
the
modern
conception
of
the
word.
Stables
in
those
days
were
shelters
hewn
as
caves
out
of
rocky
ledges.
First
c,arols
were
sung,
in
the
streets
in
1224.
The
lyrics
of
carols
have
been
largely
the
work
of
the
clergy.
mm
is
a
universal
holiday,
and
each
faith
observes
it
in
its
own
way.
Every
denomination
has
its
house
of
worship
in
this
community,
where
all
are
warmly,
cordially
invited
to
enjoy
Christmas
services,
music;
and
special
programs
of
interest
to
children,
'teen
agers,
and
service
folk.
The
Ever-New
Message
By
RT.
REV.
J.
B.
GIBSON,
Bishop
of
Caledonia
The
wonder
of
the
story
of
Christmas
is
that
al
though
nearly
two
thous
and
years
have
passed
since
Bethlehem
became
the
centre
of
the
world
the
story
is
ever
new.
You
can
not
say
the
word
Christmas
with
out
the
syllable
Christ.
Yet
lots
of
people
try
to
keep
Christmas
without
any
thought
of
Christ.
If
you
want
proof
of
this
you
have
only
to
look
at
the
Christ
mas
cards
so
widely
circulated
at
this
season.
Most
of
them
have
no
reference
to
Christ
whatever,
They
deal
with
the
frills
of
Christmas
and
leave
out
the
heart
of
it.
The
great
message
of
that
first
Christmas
Day,
the
theme
of
all
j
its
glad
music
sung
by
the
Angels
Is
that
a
Saviour,
was
bom.
unto
the'
world.
The
good
newrlsstlll
good
and
is
still
news.
He
is
the
good
news
always
good
and
always
new.
He
is
the
only
Saviour;
there
is
no
other.
He
is
our
Sa
viour
in
every
way
that
we
need
one.
This
year
when
Christmas
comes
to
the
world
as
a
greater
symbol
of
hope
than
ever
before
we
feel
in
our
hearts
the
Joy
of
the
Angels.'
We
feel
happy
over
the
sate
return
of
loved
ones
who
fought
for
our
democratic
world-wide
attention;
He
might
I
way
of
life
and
pray
that
they
have
come

a

His
aim,
however,
neult
it
is
to
be

Yet
the
was
not
to
impress
or
to
terri-
light
of
Christmas
is
never
so
bright
as
when
it
shines
in
dark
places.
To
every
lonely
life
Christmas
brings
a
message
of
courage
and
good
cheer.
"For
God
so
loved
the
world
that
He
gave
His
only
begotten
Son"
nothing
can
separate
us
from
the
love
of
God.
Let
us
reverently
join
the
mighty
throng,
of
pilgrims
who
worship
at
the
mansser
throne
and
express
our
thankfulness
for
the
message
of
peace
the
Christ-child
has
to
give.
How
that
message
rings
out
this
Christmastlde!
For
in
the
momentous
year
of
1945
a
forward
step
has
been
taken
toward
securing
a
durable
peace
for
the
world.
It
is
tne
spirit
or
prom
ise.
It
tells
of
splendid
posslbili
ties
ahead.
It
brings
the
prom
ise
of
new
beginnings.
Better
things
are
going
to
take
place,
Indeed
it
says
they
are
begun
already.
There
may
De
ciarK-ness
around
but
it
tells
us
to
llaht
the
Christmas
candles.
For
men
and
nations
it
promises
dc-yond
the
night
a
glad,
bright
day.
It
promises
that
the
ideal
of
peace
and
good-will
lifted
be
fore
tne
world
every
unnsimas
shall
not
decay,
that
the
Star
of
Bethlehem
will
shine
on
the
angry
waters
of
human
strife
until
they
have,
been
awed
into
ftillness.
It
cheers
us,
In
the
name
of
God
with
the
assurance
that
life
cannot
go
wrong
ultimately
as
men
follow
the
lead
of
the
newborn
King.
