Incarnations

FROM THE CURRENT ISSUE OF NEW OXFORD REVIEW
------------------------------------------------------------------

If one has a humbling and ennobling awe of the beauty and purpose in creation, one will never overlook or despise any of God's little ones.

Without design and without searching, I once found an unexpected treasure. One day in early autumn, while traveling in Queens County in New York City, in a district known as Jamaica, I came upon a large wooden sign, red with gold lettering, bearing the words “Church of the Incarnation — Roman Catholic.” I had seen the sign too late to see the church itself. But I saw, stretching from the corner on which the sign stood, two three-story buildings of red brick with sand-colored trim — a convent and a school. I resolved to take a better look at them and to see the church.
