together to think about tendem~

and love, and not tbe thlop of
the world that at times seem to
be of primary lmport(1nce... We
~hould put spiritual thiDP'-lhead
nf material values and feel -the
war mth of human love, and get a
dearer vision of what i8 Jeally
precwus in life and the true
meaning ol the scene at Bethlehem : "L.ty up not for yountelves

By the eoming of Christ humanity found God and wu given a
vts ion uf thi! virtues of Ood
which were to allow the world to
feed upon the fountain of living
water and "be holy as God is
lloly." The radiance that is sUp·
