A MESSAGE FOR CHRISTMAS
"One night there went out over the stillness of an evening breeze, out
over the white chalk hills of Bethlehem, a cry, a gentle cry. The sea
did not hear the cry, for the sea was filled with its own voice. The
earth did not hear the cry, for the earth slept. The great men of the
earth did not hear the cry, for they could
not understand how a Child could be greater than a man. "There were
only two classes of men who heard the cry that night: Shepherds and Wise
Men. Shepherds: Those who know they know nothing. Wise Men: Those who
know they do not know everything. The Shepherds found their Shepherd,
and the Wise Men discovered Wisdom. And the Shepherd and the Wisdom was a
Babe in a crib." Archbishop Fulton Sheen
