Last night, myself and friends went for our midnight walk in Glendalough.
The purpose was simply to prepare ourselves for Christmas; to gain an awareness of the coming of the
Infant Child.
Infant Child.
The evening was cold, yet it was a beautiful night with the sky speckled with stars.
I walked as best I could, up past the waterfall and then we stopped at the seat over-looking the
Upper Lake.
Upper Lake.
All was still, with lights from distant houses adding a mystery to the darkness.
We began the journey back to the car, reciting the Rosary and then paused in silence as we stopped at the Lake-side and listened to the sounds and marveled at the star-filled sky.
The cold of the evening only added to the delight we felt as we reached our destination.
Christmas is a time for Peace and Good Will.
How wonderful it is to have the image of the Christ-Child coming to us in such a simple and vulnerable way.
At times we need to contemplate this amazing Mystery of the birth of the Infant Child.
