The Most Wonderful Christmas Story of All
Every year, the woman made the same pilgrimage to the
cave. She would light a torch and enter
the cave at night…and search through every inch until she came to the place
where he had been laid. Then she would extinguish the torch and slowly in the
dark until emerging into the deep dark night ablaze with stars. Then she would close her eyes and imagine,
just imagine what it must have been like for her son to have stepped out of
death into the light of new life.
Mary always went back to that cave. It was after all the place of his second
birth and hers as well. He was her son, no question about that, but he was God’s
son as well and all people are his heirs. It is the story of Christmas given for all of
us.
