2021 Reprint of the 1949 Edition. Facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Miss Houselander has taken the theme of the infant Christ for her book and unfolds to us through the image of a child the redemption of the cross. Christ is born anew in us through grace, divine life is given and entrusted to us in order that we might live a Christlike life. In reliving Christ in the world, we must assimilate the principles that governed his life at Bethlehem and Nazareth. Just as Bethlehem has neither meaning nor significance apart from Calvary, so also does our life become empty and unintelligible if unrelated to the Mass, if our living is not fashioned after the Eucharistic life of Christ. These age-old truths the authoress repeats for us, but in a setting that is new, that is discerning (particularly when she is tracing the qualities that make for child likeness) that is penetrating and meditative.
