Mary's Dream



Priest story:

Mary's Dream :

...,,Joseph, I had a funny dream last night. I don't understand it, but I think it was about a birthday celebration for our Son. I think that was what it was all about. The people had been preparing for it about six weeks. They'd gone shopping many times and bought elaborate gifts. It was peculiar though, because the presents weren't for our Son.

They wrapped them in beautiful paper and tied them with lovely bows and stacked them under the tree.

Yes, a tree, Joseph, right in their house. They'd decorate the tree alco. Yhe branches were full of glowing balls and sparkling ornaments. All kinds of lights and goodies all around. Then on the top of the tree was a figure. It looked like an angel might look.

Oh, it was beautiful.

Everyone was laughing and happy. They were all excited about the gifts. They gave the gifts to each other, Joseph, and not to our Son. I don't think they even knew Him. They never mentioned His name.

Doesn't it seem odd for people to go to all that trouble to celebrate someone birthday if they don't even know Him?

I had the strangest feeling that if our Son had gone to this celebration He would have been a complete stranger.

Everything was so beautiful, Joseph, and everyone was so gay, but it made me want to cry.

How sad for Jesus - not to be wanted at His own birthday party.....

I'm glad, though it was only a drem....

only a dream....

How terrible, Joseph, if it had been real ?..."
