Rating: 5.0
The Bishop's Wife is one of favorite Christmas movies
A wonderful story that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas, beginning with a prayer to God for guidance by the Bishop (David Niven) which results in an angel Dudley (Cary Grant) who comes to the rescue and manages to change the lives of everyone he meets, including the Bishop's wife, Julia (Loretta Young). It ends with the sermon about the story of an empty stocking, one we still celebrate today with gifts. "It is the stocking of a child born in a manger. It is His birthday we are celebrating. Don't let us ever forget that! Let us ask ourselves what He would wish for most, and then, let each put in his share - loving kindness, warm hearts, and a stretched out hand of tolerance, all the shining gifts that make peace on earth."
