At Christmas Eve, before going to church,the family is praying around the fireplace, where the traditional log is burning. Little Francis is touched and, thrilled, admires the scene of Bethlem. Infant Jesus caresses the little boy from Pietrelcina. Now Mary’s smile confirms that the baby with his life will be the Redeemer’s announcement.
It’s an Announcement
In the fireplace the log is already burning.
All around it,all the faces form a ring.
The prayer is rising softly.
The whirling flame paints them
as giants on the ceiling and the wall.
