It happened (it will happen) in late December…that moment. Babies recognized it first…babies and then little boys and girls…and it made them, each and every one of them, smile with unabashed delight.
Recognition spread slowly…but surely…across the span of ages and across the span of the blue-green globe…and it amazed them…each and every one of them…as the wonder of it sunk in.
It happened (it will happen) in late December…that lingering moment…a sublime whisper of heaven falling gracefully…amazingly… across the world we all call home.
Not one voice was raised in anger…not one hand was closed in a menacing fist…not one bullet tore through the yielding flesh of living being…not one tear went unnoticed or untended.
Not one child was crying…not one heart was broken…not one instant was regretted for lack of patience or accomplishment.
It happened…it will happen…in late December…a long moment filled with warm light and bright love.
In that moment…in that unimaginable, utterly thrilling moment…there was peace…peace on Earth…peace in every corner and in every heart all over the world.
It happened…it will happen…in late December…peace on Earth.
Amen.
