Beneath the earth asleep with ancient sin,
Another darkness, though warm and holy,
Unseals its treasure, seal unbreaking, in
Return of God to man in state most lowly.
Ark of life, our hope, Her eyes are smiling,
Her joy’s unspoken but sung by angels.
The breath of beasts is incense ascending.
The heart of Joseph is dreaded by devils.
A baby on a manger bed, a vir-
gin’s arms His shelter. His sleep is worth un-
counted souls. His cries ring out forever.
Mark well this new rising of the sun.
The day is new. Let our hearts not be old.
Our love needs to warm the Babe that is cold.

Ave Maria!
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Wishing everyone a Happy and Holy Christmas Season. Thank you for posting, again, Fr. Angelo. I learn so much from you.
In Christ,
Marian
God bless you, Marian! I just had to get back into the grove.
Merry Christmas Father.
Enjoying the new look of the blog – and hoping for more entries (and if fortunate enough, a return of your homilies)
Thanks Aikendrum,
I would like to post homilies from here, but the Internet connection is to slow to upload much. That is why lately when I do post a video is is a Day with Mary homily I give in London. Someone put there puts it up on YouTube, and I just link to it. Perhaps I will find another way.
Beautiful Fr.Angelo – Thank you for sharing. You are in our daily prayers. Hope you are well! Dawn C.
Did you compose this sonnet? It’s beautiful.
Yes, Jennifer and thank you.
