“What was born of Mary was therefore human by nature, in accordance with the inspired Scriptures, and the body of the Lord was a true body: It was a true body because it was the same as ours. Mary, you see, is our sister, for we are all born from Adam.”

It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
from heaven's all-gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay,
to hear the angels sing.

Ah, let her go, kind Lord, where mothers go
And boast his pretty words and ways, and plan
The proud and happy years that they shall know
Together, when her son is grown a man.

Keep from her dreams the rumble of a crowd,
The smell of rough-cut wood, the trail of red,
The thick and chilly whiteness of the shroud
That wraps the strange new body of the dead.

Let her have laughter with her little one;
Teach her the endless, tuneless songs to sing,
Grant her her right to whisper to her son
The foolish names one dare not call a king.

The things she knew, let her forget again—
The voices in the sky, the fear, the cold,
The gaping shepherds, and the queer old men
Piling their clumsy gifts of foreign gold.

Well, we've done it. The forecast high today was 71°, and we've made it to 76°, which is the record for this date. We've tied the record from Christmas Eve 1964.

I quit smoking at the beginning of advent in 2014 and I still have, over eleven years later, an immediate and powerful physical+psychological response whenever I encounter the smell of tobacco actively being smoked
No one wants to hear this, but the real problem with smoking is that it's extremely addictive. If most people were actually able to consume "lightly/in moderation" (which would probably need to average less than 1/day) the public health campaign might not have been as absolutist
With more actors, pop stars and other celebrities spotted unapologetically smoking, the cultural taboo against it shows signs of ebbing. That worries antismoking advocates. 🔗 on.wsj.com/49om2X4

this claim gets made so so often, with such authority, and I have only ever seen people offer the same bizarre and slender reed of textual "evidence" to support it
adult baptism is not made in any sense made normative (contra infant baptism) by the 1979 book of common prayer
