High Up in the Swiss Alps — Basilea Schlink

The Empty Ice Grotto and the Emptiness of the Heart

High up in the Swiss Alps, the Jungfraujoch is one of the world's most beautiful spots. Christmas is nearing, and here, beneath the glacial ice, lies a cold, sunless, empty ice grotto. Aren't our hearts sometimes like this, cold and empty?

Welcoming the Little Christ Child in Worship

But even in the most remote places, the little Christ child is waiting to be loved and worshipped at Christmas.

Jesus Christ as the Unsetting Light

You have a friend in Jesus Christ, like a sun that never sets, he lights up every darkness. So let Jesus, the source of joy, shine into your heart. Then the depths of your darkness will become light, and you will be comforted in your sadness.

Goodbye and God bless you!
