“May the Father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way, everlastingly happy.” – George Washington, Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, 1790
‘Tis an old message, readers, but it still rings true. Have a Happy Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas!
“God rest ye, merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay….”

NATIVITY
Immensity, cloister’d in thy dear womb,
Now leaves His well-beloved imprisonment.
There he hath made himself to his intent
Weak enough, now into our world to come.
But O! for thee, for Him, hath th’ inn no room?
Yet lay Him in this stall, and from th’ orient,
Stars, and wise men will travel to prevent
The effects of Herod’s jealous general doom.
See’st thou, my soul, with thy faith’s eye, how He
Which fills all place, yet none holds Him, doth lie?
Was not His pity towards thee wondrous high,
That would have need to be pitied by thee?
Kiss Him, and with Him into Egypt go,
With His kind mother, who partakes thy woe.

Adeste, fideles,
Laeti, triumphantes,
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem Angelorum,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite, adoremus,
Venite adoremus Dominum!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
