The Unbroken Song
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was filled with sorrow at the tragic death of his wife in a fire in 1861. The Civil War broke out the same year, and it seemed this was an additional punishment. Two years later, Longfellow was again saddened to learn that his own son had been seriously wounded in the Army of the Potomac.
The Wonder of It All!
The Advent Season always fills me with great “Wonder.”
I wonder what Mary must have been feeling waiting for the arrival of her child conceived by the Holy Spirit.
I wonder how Joseph carried the weight of responsibility he’d been given.
