Fr. Frederick William Faber C.O. (1814 - 1863) was a noted English hymn writer and theologian. He converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1845 and was ordained to priesthood in 1847.In this book he meditates on the mystery of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. The book is organized into the following chapters:Chapter I: The Bosom Of The Eternal FatherChapter II: The Bosom Of MaryChapter III: The Midnight CaveChapter IV: The First WorshippersChapter V: Tue Infant GodChapter VI: Soul And BodyChapter VII: Calvary Before Its TimeChapter VIII: Heaven AlreadyChapter IX: The Feet Of The Eternal Father

Fr. Faber explores the hidden meanings of Our Lord's Incarnation; birth; infancy and early life and expands his theme to a wide-ranging discourse on the entire Catholic Faith from the point of view of the Sacred Infancy. Nothing that Jesus did or allowed Himself to undergo is without meaning; and Fr. Faber explores those hidden meanings with a profundity one would hardly believe possible.

Active Table of ContentsFr. Faber brings the reader to the stable in Bethlehem to contemplate the Incarnation, the roles of Blessed Mary and St. Joseph, and the plan of the Eternal Father in sending his Son.

John Henry Newman, following him in his conversion to the Catholic Church.

He also wrote a number of devotional books and has been called "a master of mystical theology."

Excerpt from BethlehemFor this Book not only represents a past in which you are as much mixed up as with that other past six years ago, but, by God's appointment, it calls up associations, which, if they are less joyous, are on that very account more tender. That Will of God, which has laid you aside and given you, apparently for life, only pain and endurance for your portion in the work of His vineyard, has disappointed many hopes and frustrated many schemes, which were more dear to us than strangers can ever understand. Yet I trust that neither of us have, even so much as in thought, rebelled against it.Your pilgrimage to the East did not - so God willed it -restore the health which you had lost in His service, and which, I have a right to say, was of even more value to me than to yourself. Neither has it pleased Him to give you the strength necessary to turn your journey to account in a literary way, for the good of His Church or the illustration of His Word. But much of this Book is yours. To you is owing all that is correct and accurate and pictorial about the scenes which it describes. It gives the Book a sort of sad value to me, to think that it is, with all its incompleteness, the only record of your painstaking visit to the Holy Places.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

My dear Father A ntony, Six years ago it seemed natural to me to cast what I had to say in the way of Preface toG rowth inH oliness into the shape of a Prefatory Epistle to you; so much and so affectionately were you mixed up with the past life and the past experience which that Book represented. It seems still more natural now, that I should do the same in the case of Bethlehem. For this Book not only represents a past in which you are as much mixed up as with that other past six years ago, but, by God sappointment, it calls up associations, which, if they are less joyous, are on that very account more tender. That Will of God, which has laid you aside and given you, apparently for life, only pain and endurance for your portion in the work of His vineyard, has disappointed many hopes and frustrated many schemes, which were more dear to us than strangers can ever understand.
