“Angels we have heard on high,” as they celebrate the birth of the Christ Child. On this cold blessed night, the angels have led the shepherds to the stable on the outskirts of Bethlehem to visit the Holy Family: Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. The shepherds shared that an angel appeared and announced that a Savior was born, here in the town of Bethlehem.  Mary quietly reflected on their words and the news they brought of their visit from the angel of the Lord. Mary treasured their words and pondered them often in her heart. It must have been beyond her ability to grasp, that sleeping in her arms, that her precious newborn baby was the Savior of the world.
