Commemoration of Charles de Foucauld, Hermit, Servant of the Poor, 1916
The law of nature is nothing but the law of God, given to mankind for the conservation of his nature, and the promotion of his perfective end. A law of which a man sees a reason and feels a necessity: God is the lawgiver.

Advent I
Silence, as to every motion proceeding from the love of money, and an humble waiting upon God, to know his will concerning us, hath now appeared necessary: he alone is able to strengthen us to dig deep, to remove all which lies between us and the safe foundation, and so direct us in our outward employments, that pure universal love may shine forth in our proceedings.

Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552

Now this is the great rule, not only for servants, but for all the servants of God, in what state soever, to set the Lord always before them, and to study with St. Paul, to have always a conscience void of offence towards God and towards men; to eye, and to apply constantly to their actions and their inward thoughts, the command of God; to walk by that rule abroad, and at home in their houses, and in the several ways of their calling; (as an exact workman is ever and anon laying his rule to his work, and squaring it;) and for the conscience they have towards God, to do and suffer His will cheerfully in every thing, being content that He choose their condition and their trials for them; only desirous to be assured, that He hath chosen them for His own, and given them a right to the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Advent II
[Jesus] knows our sorrows, not merely as he knows all things, but as one who has been in our situation, and who, though without sin himself, endured when upon earth inexpressibly more for us than he will ever lay upon us. He has sanctified poverty, pain, disgrace, temptation, and death, by passing through these states; and in whatever states his people are, they may by faith have fellowship with him in their sufferings, and he will by sympathy and love have fellowship and interest with them in theirs.

Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968
Too often, people who take the spiritual life seriously may waste all their efforts on the scaffolding, making it more and more solid, permanent and secure, and paying no attention to the building itself. They do so out of a kind of unconscious fear of the real responsibilities of the Christian life, which are solitary and interior. These are difficult to express, even obliquely. They are almost impossible to communicate to anyone else. Hence one can never be “sure” whether he is right or wrong. One has very little evidence of progress or perfection in this interior sphere—while in the exterior, progress can be more easily measured and results can be seen. They can also be shown to others for their approval and admiration. The most important, the most real, and lasting work of the Christian is accomplished in the depths of his own soul. It cannot be seen by anyone, even by himself. It is known only to God.
... Thomas Merton (1915-1968), Life and Holiness, Herder and Herder, 1963, p. 68

Tuesday, December 11, 2012
All men have the same Creator and the same nature. The Christian man can accept all that the modern liberal means by the brotherhood of man. But the Christian knows also of a relationship far more intimate than that general relationship of man to man and it is for this more intimate relationship that he reserves the term “brother.” The true brotherhood, according to Christian teaching, is the brotherhood of the redeemed.
... J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937), Christianity and Liberalism, The Macmillan Company, 1923, p. 157-158

Commemoration of Samuel Johnson, Writer, Moralist, 1784

... Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), from The Rambler, #79, Dec. 18, 1750, The Works of Samuel Johnson, L. L. D., v. V, New York: William Durell, 1811, p. 66

Saturday, December 15, 2012
If our knowledge of God is clearer than that of heathen; if prophecies which were dark to Jews are plain to us; if a fellowship and communion with our Father in heaven are granted to us which they could not claim; if the mystery of our sins and our forgiveness is declared to us in the Cross of Jesus Christ; if the hope of what is to come is opened to us, as not even good and holy men under the old covenant were allowed to have it; if we know more of heaven, if we see clearer through death, if we can trust more surely in trials and temptations—it is because for us the Spirit of God has been given.
... R. W. Church (1815-1890), Village Sermons, New York: Macmillan Company, 1897, p. 119-120

Commemoration of Dorothy Sayers, Teacher and Spiritual Writer, 1957
Commemoration of Eglantyne Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of ‘Save the Children’, 1928
It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth seeking for is to know and to be known by Christ—a privilege open alone to the childlike, who, with receptivity, guilelessness, and humility, move Godward. The Babe on your Christmas card says this to me.
... Charles H. Brent (1862-1929), from a letter, Dec. 26, 1913, Historical Magazine of the Protestant Episcopal Church, v. 26, Church Historical Society., 1957, p. 131

Christmas turns things tail end foremost. The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance—leading the parade with a big blare of a band—the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That’s the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.

Our Saviour Christ was bornThat we might have the rose without the thorn;All through His desert lifeHe felt the thorns of human sin and strife.His blessed feet were bareTo every hurting brier; He did not spareOne bleeding footstep on the wayHe came to trace for us, until the dayThe cruel crown was pressed upon the Brow,That smiles upon us from His glory now.
And so He won for usSweet, thornless, everlasting flowers thus!He bids our desert wayRejoice and blossom as the rose to-day.There is no hidden thornIn His good gifts of grace; He would adornThe lives that now are His alone,With brightness and with beauty all His own.Then praise the Lord who came on Christmas DayTo give the rose and take the thorn away.

Thursday, December 20, 2012
As Christians, we must maintain day in and day out that peace is not something to be achieved by our power. Rather peace is a gift of God that comes only by our being a community formed around a crucified savior—a savior who teaches us how to be peaceful in a world in rebellion against its true Lord.

Loving looks the large-eyed cow,Loving stares the long-eared assAt Heaven’s glory in the grass!Child, with added human birthCome to bring the child of earthGlad repentance, tearful mirth,And a seat beside the hearthAt the Father’s knee—Make us peaceful as thy cow;Make us patient as thine ass;Make us quiet as thou art now;Make us strong as thou wilt be.Make us always know and seeWe are his as well as thou.

Father eternal, Ruler of creation,Spirit of life, which moved ere form was made,Through the thick darkness covering every nation,Light to man’s blindness, O be Thou our aid.
Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;By wars and tumults Love is mocked, derided;His conquering cross no nation wills to bear.
Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded,Nation by nation still goes unforgiven,In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven.
Lust of possession worketh desolations;There is no meekness in the powers of earth;Led by no star, the rulers of the nationsStill fail to bring us to the blissful birth.
How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,If we love not the world which Thou hast made?O give us brother-love for better seeingThy Word made flesh and in a manger laid.

Advent IV
We have become so accustomed to the idea of divine love and of God’s coming at Christmas that we no longer feel the shiver of fear that God’s coming should arouse in us. We are indifferent to the message, taking only the pleasant and agreeable out of it and forgetting the serious aspect, that the God of the world draws near to the people of our little earth and lays claim to us. The coming of God is truly not only glad tidings, but first of all frightening news for every one who has a conscience.
... Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), A Testament to Freedom: the essential writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Geffrey B. Kelly, F. Burton Nelson, eds., HarperCollins, 1995, p. 185

Christmas Eve
For the Christ-child who comes is the Master of all;No palace too great, no cottage too small.The angels who welcome Him sing from the height,“In the city of David a King in His might.”Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas to-night!
Then let every heart keep its Christmas within,Christ’s pity for sorrow, Christ’s hatred of sin,Christ’s care for the weakest, Christ’s courage for right,Christ’s dread of the darkness, Christ’s love of the light.Everywhere, everywhere, Christmas to-night!

CHRISTMAS DAY
Rejoice, for this day the holy bread, that is to say, God has made himself food for men, in order to satisfy, with His body, all that hunger. Rejoice; for, this day is born the Redeemer of the world, the Saviour of sinners. Rejoice; for, this day an immortal God is born, in order that mortal man may live for ever. Rejoice, for the Lord of the universe lay poor in a stable, in order that our poverty might be changed into riches. Rejoice, dearly-beloved, that the predictions of the prophets and of the saints have been fulfilled. Rejoice, for the omnipotent Father and the Son, abounding in wisdom and grace, are given to us, that glory may be to God on high, and on earth peace, good-will toward men.

Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr
Let us cultivate the spirit of prayer which is even better than the habit of prayer. There may be seeming prayer where there is little devotion. We should begin to pray before we kneel down, and we should not cease when we rise up.

Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist
For true peace of heart is to be found in resisting passion, not in yielding to it. And therefore there is no peace in the heart of a man who is carnal, nor in him who is given up to the things that are without him, but only in him who is fervent towards God and living the life of the Spirit.

Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170
The Bible is appointed to be read in churches, where the voice struggles helplessly against the handicaps of an Elizabethan vocabulary, a solemn occasion, an overpowering background, a mute assembly, and acoustics with a two-second echo. The more “beautifully and impressively” it is read, the more unreal it sounds. Most unreal of all is the speech of the story’s central character—every word a “familiar quotation,” pulpit-dissected, sifted, weighed, burdened with a heavy accretion of prophetic and exegetical importance. In a sense not contemplated by the Evangelist, we feel it to be true that never man spake as this man, for by this time the words have lost all likeness to the speech of a living person.

Sunday, December 30, 2012
If your God can allow you to remain complacently the poor thing that you are; if He tells you soothingly not to worry—that He, for His part, is not making a fuss about your faults and failures, will not overpress such matters...—then there is something essentially wrong. For all who know God by more than mere hearsay are at one in this— that He hates sin, that He can’t abide it, that He will let no friend of His settle down in it in peace.
... A. J. Gossip (1873-1954), The Galilean Accent, Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1926, p. 54-55

Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384
Hitherto the corpse of John Wickliffe had quietly slept in his grave, about one-and-forty years after his death, till his body was reduced to bones, and his bones almost to dust...But now, such the spleen of the Council of Constance [1415], as they not only cursed his memory, as dying an obstinate heretic, but ordered that his bones... to be taken out of the ground, and thrown far off from any Christian burial.In obedience hereunto, [the local bishop] sent his officers... to ungrave him accordingly. To Lutterworth they come, [1428] ... take what was left out of the grave, and burnt them to ashes, and cast them into Swift, a neighbouring brook running hard by. Thus this brook hath conveyed his ashes into Avon, Avon into Severn, Severn into the narrow seas, they into the main ocean. And thus the ashes of Wickliffe are the emblem of his doctrine, which now is dispersed all the world over.
