The Mystery of Christmas Eve (fragments) - Edith Stein 
"No Child know what God has in store on this earth and we should not ask it early. Only one thing is certain: that whatever happens to those who love the Lord is for own good. And besides, the roads that lead to cross Salvador limits of earthly life. "The entourage of the Son of God made man: All of us have ever felt a happiness on Christmas Eve, even though heaven and earth not yet have joined. The star of Bethlehem is still today a star in the dark night. Just two days after the Church removed the white garments and clothes the color of blood, the purple the fourth day of sadness. San esteban, the first martyr, the first to follow the Lord in the martyrdom and the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem and of Juda, the infants brutally beheaded by Herod's soldiers are the procession of the Child of the Manger. What does that mean? Where is the joy of the heavenly host? Where the quiet bliss of Christmas? Where peace on this earth? "Peace on earth to men of good will." But not everyone has good voluntad.Es why the Son of the Eternal Father had come down from the greatness of his glory to the smallness of the earth, since the mystery of iniquity had covered the shadows of noche.Las tinibleas covered the earth and He came upon us like the light that shines in the darkness, but darkness not receive it. Those who received him, he brought the light and peace, peace with the Father in Heaven, peace with those who are also sons of light and the heavenly Father and the deep and intimate peace of heart. But no way to peace with the sons of darkness. The Prince of peace does not bring them peace but a sword. For them it is the stumbling block against which collide and estrellan.Esta is a difficult and very serious indeed we should not conceal the poetic charm of the Child of Bethlehem. The mystery of the Incarnation and the mystery of evil are very closely linked.
