Staff in the Derry Diocesan Catechetical Centre have requested that we share this poem with our school community. It reminds us that Jesus depends on us now to allow him to continue to be light, peace and love
A Christmas Poem From John Bell (1745-1831)
Light looked down and saw the darkness.
I will go there’, said light.
Peace looked down and saw war.
‘I will go there’, said peace.
Love looked down and saw hatred.
‘I will go there’, said love.
So he,
the Lord of Light,
the Prince of Peace
the King of Love
came down and crept in beside us.
