About the Author: Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce is a Catholic author and biographer who has written about subjects as various as GK Chesterton, economics, and Shakespeare.
A wonderful commentary! The world has always resisted the Christ child and the proper celebration of his glorious birth; it has resisted all the more the Advent season and the time of spiritual preparation for the coming of the Incarnation.
It is appropriate that our modern day Chesterton, Joseph Pearce, has shared this, as it serves as a summary, of sorts, of GKC’s “God in the Cave” chapter in The Everlasting Man.
I suggest that we also swim against the cultural stream by “keeping Christmas” throughout the 12 days! December 26th is not the end of Christmas and the beginning of “Retail Return” season, it’s simply day 2 of a glorious celebration!
