The angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them.... And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
– Luke 2:9, 10
The star that looked lovingly down on the manger of our Lord, lends its resplendent light to this hour: the light of Truth, to cheer, guide, and bless man as he reaches forth for the infant idea of divine perfection dawning upon human imperfection, – that calms man’s fears, bears his burdens, beckons him on to Truth and Love and the sweet immunity these bring from sin, sickness, and death.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896,” p. 320
I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
– Matthew 28:20
