Ave Maria!— December’s Theme: Humility
“For forty centuries the Divine Child was expected; with sighs the ancient Fathers invoked the coming; the sacred writers clearly prophesized the place and the event of His birth, and yet all is silence and it seems that no one knows about this great happening. Only a little later He is visited by the shepherds intent on guarding their flocks in the meadow. They were told by heavenly spirits of the sensational event and invited to go to His grotto.”
