Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

God sent the angels to announce the message of peace to the shepherds when Jesus was born in the stable in Bethlehem.

Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

It was a very cloudy evening. Just one single star could be seen shining.

“Wait for me! Wait for me!” called the smallest angel. But the other angels had swiftly left heaven and were heading for earth.

The smallest angel was lost in the clouds. He landed on earth.



“Where am I?” he asked.

“You are in Oceania,” they said.

I’m looking for Bethlehem, said the smallest angel. Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

He moved on.



“Where am I?” he asked.

“You are in Asia,” they said.

I’m looking for Bethlehem, said the smallest angel. Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

He moved on.



“Where am I?” he asked.

“You are in the Americas,” they said.

I’m looking for Bethlehem, said the smallest angel. Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

He moved on.



“Where am I?” he asked.

“You are in Europe,” they said.

I’m looking for Bethlehem, said the smallest angel. Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth!

He moved on.



“Where am I?” he asked.

“You are in Bethlehem,” they said.

Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth! said the smallest angel.

“Too late! Too late! We’ve already made the announcement,” said all the other angels.



And that’s how the smallest angel came to announce peace all over the earth.

Glory to God in the Highest and Peace on Earth! says the smallest angel.



Peace to you and your loved ones!
