CHRISTMAS IS INFINITE LOVE
Christmas! To the child it is the beautiful mystery- a wonderful time of year
when the ordinary things of life are transformed, as if by the wave of a magic
wand, into the realm of a veritable heaven on earth. To the grown-ups who have
retained the spirit of childhood, and who still carry in their hearts the
remembrance of their own Christmases as children, it is also a time when the
ordinary is transformed into a mystical and overpowering beauty.
To many who sorrow it is a time for calm contemplation and prayerful
meditations. To the parents and loved ones at home and to the sons who are far
away fighting in defense of the very principles for which Christmas is a symbol,
it is a time of sadness, yet a sadness mingled with gladness and supported by a
Glorious Hope. And there too, is the wonder and mystery increased by the very
thoughts which sacrifice and love of country elicit.
To those who are sick in heart and body, to those who find the world a
difficult problem to live, to those who have little of the luxuries of life, and
to those who have honestly tried and failed, Christmas is a magnificent gift.
To the oppressed, to the meek, to the poor in spirit, to all who hold fast to
a faith in the Ultimate Triumph of Good, Christmas is a symbol of a "never
say die spirit" which spurs man on his search for the door that leads into
the Temple of Spiritual Enlightenment.
Upon the Holy Altar of Freemasonry rests the Great Light. The force of that
Celestial Radiance is limited only by our failure to look in the right
direction. Men will learn the Christmas is not a day. It is the light that never
fails. Its source is Infinite Love.
