이정훈 교수, 나는 어떻게 기독교를 핍박하던 불자에서 그리스도인이 되었는가

 

Here’s some fun for my seething multitudes of readers who are passionately interested in the subtle differences and nuanced distinctions between Gramscian Socialism, Hybrid Leninism, cultural Maoism, the upheavals of 1968 (East and  West) and how they pertain to the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I’m working on the English subtitles. Be patient. Meanwhile, eat some Kimchee.

In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak mid-winter
Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow has fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter,
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him whom angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Throng’d the air,
But only His mother
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,—
Yet what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.

Christina Rossetti (1830 – 1894)
