The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-12-27

1t was a memorable morning in
heaven when the united voices of it's
nine choirs pealed forth before the
throne of the Most High singing
GLORY be to God in the highest and
on earth peace to men of good will. :"
If we ask them what marvellous
event has taken place, they will an
swer us, too, and say: 81 bring you
tidings of great joy. Today is born to
you a Savior" And the Star in the
East, as well as they, will say to us:
Behold, the Desired of all nations has
come! He who spoke to Adam in the
Garden of Eden; who spoke of old, in
the clouds by day, and in the pillar of
fire by night, is here He who Great
ed the armament with its sun and
moon and stars; and separated the
waters from the dry land, is here!
Yes, He who gave the Ten Command
ments to Moses, in the midst of thun-
der and tightening, on the hills of
Mt. Sinai is born in a poor stable at
Bethlehem" You shall find him
wrapped in swaddling clothes, and
laid in a manger!"
Let us harken to the invitation and
go in spirit to Bethlehem, as if it were
that first memorable Christmas morn
ing. Let us approach the crib in that
spirit of boundless joy, gladness,
thanksgiving, faith and alteration
which should actuate us.
Bearing in mind the privileges that
are ours in being called into existence
when He has already come and also
of the graces and facilities we now
enjoy through his seven sacraments
and otherwise, compared to those who
lived before his coming, let our
hearts and our lips be filled with that
gratitude, alteration, joy and gladness
which we should possess if we are to
celebrate in a worthy manner the joy
full anniversary of that first memor-
able Christmas night.

with offering up their supplications
unto God, they turn themselves some
times to the heavens, beseeching them
why like a benifcient shower they
do not rain down the Just One; at
ether times, to the earth, why like a
bud of life it does not finally give Him
to them.
But they lived and passed away,
and although they so ardently "de-
sired to see the things that we have
seen" yet, they did not see them, and
to hear the things that we have
heard" but did not hear them!
The DEGREES of Providence were,
that benefit so signal would have to
be preceded by such long and ardent
desires and it was not BETTING to give
Immediately to naughty man, a gift
so great, without his first clearly
knowing the extreme need he had of
it.
When at length the fulneSS OF the
time had come and the Son of God
had been born in bethlehem, what
joy, gladness, peace and gratitude
filled the hearts of the Sheperds, who
were keeping the night watches over
their flock, when the angel stood by
them and said to them: 81 bring you
good tidings Of great Joy that shall be
unto all the people; for this day is
born to you Savior, who is Christ
the Lord, in the City of David"
What joy and gladness and thanks
giving did not the tidings the event
of that night call forth!
What human tongue or poets pen
could fully describe or narrate the
full story of that first Christmas
morningi
1t was an eventful and joyful
morning for the children of men as
that sign which had been promised,
that star in the east had appeared and
proclaimed that the longwished for
Savior was born It was a great
on the earth, for the exiled
children of men!

dispensation when the figures of the
Old Law are already passed and
when the price of our redemption has
been already paid.
Could we but comprehend the num-
berless graces and facilities that are
afforded us compared to those who
lived before Christ's coming and be.
fore the Sacraments of the New Law
were instituted, it would soon enable
us to see what gratitude should fill
our hearts towards our Infant Savior
on Xmas morning.
Let lis reflect on the state in which
the world was plunged before the
coming of the Son of Man, and the
difficulties that beset those who tried
to serve God in those days.
Man was in an exile in land for
him cursed. Cursed be the earth in
thy work"
If he raised his eyes to heaven he
saw it irremediably closed against
him. If he glanced around him he be-
held only dreary dsrkness and the
shadow of death.
Man, in those days, is likened by
Isaias to "a den where dragons
dwell"; by Izekeal, to "a plain that
was full of dry bones; by the Prince
of the Apostles, to a flock of sheep
that was going astray without a shep-
herdi"
How ardently did not man look for
ward in those days to the coming of
the Just One, the Desired of the ever
lasting hills, the Liberator from sin
and death!
The whole company of the Prophets
express, in a thousand various ways,
these ardent desires, and not content
