Thought for the Approach of Christmas

Here is a thought that is really for all those who are lapsed Catholics, or are among the indifferent, sceptical or hostile concerning the purpose and teaching of the birth of Jesus Christ in a stable at Bethlehem.

The thought originates from the memory of hearing or reading something similar by an unknown priest years ago. It very much reflects something that the social agenda-setters have been trying to stamp out, especially from the minds of children since the sixties: the reflexive importance of 'common sense'. Those who read the writings of the resurgent G.K. Chesterton will understand why he is known as 'The Apostle of Common Sense'.

So here is an important thought for everyone at this time of year:

CHRISTMAS WITHOUT THE CHRIST IS LIKE SUNSHINE WITHOUT THE SUN
