Christmas Blessings 2019

“

In order to save man, God
Decided on a marvelous mystery:
He becomes what we are,
Making us become what He is.

Noel of Spiritual SoulsSt Louis de Montfort: Hymn #64 Verse 1

“

The most high Lord lowered Himself
To raise us to Heaven.
He came into our lowliness
To grant us His glorious life.

Noel of Spiritual SoulsSt Louis de Montfort: Hymn #64 Verse 2

“

He became powerless
To make us powerful,
He became an infant
To make us immortal.

Noel of Spiritual SoulsSt Louis de Montfort: Hymn #64 Verse 3

“

To shower us with riches
His majesty became poor;
In order to caress us
This great Lord became poor and small.

Noel of Spiritual SoulsSt Louis de Montfort: Hymn #64 Verse 4

“

Be blessed, O Mary,
You are our bliss.
And you give us life
By giving us this gentle Savior.

Noel of Spiritual SoulsSt Louis de Montfort: Hymn #64 Verse 11
