“Every babe ever born for this life, except One, was born to live. The only exception was the Babe who gave Christmas its name. The name given to Him at His birth was Jesus because, as the angels said, He shall save His people from their sins. He took not the name of Teacher, for then He would have been only an ethical reformer; nor did He take the name of Judge for that would be to announce judgment before announcing mercy and forgiveness. Later on, when He begins His public life, John salutes Him as the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Thoughts for Daily Living)
