The Presence of Christmas

Christmas is not just a season,
Christmas is not just a day,
Christmas is more than a reason
For parties, presents and play.

Christmas is truly the essence
Of joy that the Saviour brings;
Christmas is surely the presence
Of Jesus, the King of Kings

William Arthur Ward

The Son came out from the Father to help us to come out from the world;

He descended to us to enable us to ascend to him.

Anthony of Padua
