Father Martin, who had been reading
the story of the three wise men who
brought their gifts to the infant Jesus,
said to himself:
"If only tomorrow were the first
Christmas day and the Savior were
coming to this world tonight how
would serve and adore him! know
very well what would give him."
He arose and took from shelf two
little shoes. 'Here is what I would
give him, my finest work. How
pleased his mother would be! But
what am thinking Off" he continued,
smiling. 'Does the Savior need my
poor shop and my shoes?"
But that night Father Martin had
a dream. He thought that the voice
of Jesus himself said to him: Martin,
you have wished to see me. Watch
the street tomorrow from morning I'M
til evening, for shall pass your way"
When he awoke the next morning,
Father Martin, convinced that what
he had dreamed would surely take
place, fastened to put his shop in
order, lighted his fire, drank his coffee
and then seated himself at the win
dow to watch the passersby.
The first person he saw was poor
street sweeper, who was trying to
warm himself, for it was bitter cold.
