Puer Natus Est
Puer natus est nobis,
et filius datus est nobis,
cujus imperium super humerum ejus
et vocabitur nomen ejus,
magni consilii Angelus.
Cantate Domino canticum novum
quia mirabilia fecit.
Gloria...
In some way, mankind is awaiting God, waiting for him to draw near. But when the moment comes, there is no room for him. Man is so preoccupied with himself, he has such urgent need of all the space and all the time for his own things, that nothing remains for others - for his neighbour, for the poor, for God. And the richer men become, the more they fill up all the space by themselves. And the less room there is for others.
Nothing is more beautiful, urgent and important than freely giving to
people what we have freely received from God.
