How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given, so God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in. Phillips Brooks' words written in 1868 ring truer today than ever. We pray that our tongues may be silent, and our ears turned to hear your wonders. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Today's main article is written by Barbara Jurgensen with a response from Scott Suskovic.
