Third Week of Advent
The Child Jesus
“The human heart is always filled with some kind of wonder. It is one of the first signs of the growing awareness of a small child. Who has not smiled to see a little infant discovering that he has feet, he has hands! He is full of wonder! Then, as he grows he becomes more and more full of wonder at the things he can do. Wonder is so radical to the human heart.”
