and listened to their recordings
for as long as

12:47.433 --> 12:50.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%

I grew up singing in
the church choir.

12:57.666 --> 12:59.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I fell in love with music
through that.

12:59.600 --> 13:01.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
My mom, when I was eight years
old, signed me up,

13:01.866 --> 13:04.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and ever since then I
haven't looked back.

13:04.100 --> 13:06.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Like so many of you I bet, many

13:06.366 --> 13:08.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
of my favorite
childhood memories are from

13:08.866 --> 13:10.266 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
Christmas time, and they're

13:10.266 --> 13:12.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the kind of memories
that my wife and

13:12.100 --> 13:15.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
I are hoping to create with
our own family now.

13:15.366 --> 13:18.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
We are pretty fresh to
the parenting game.

13:18.300 --> 13:21.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
We have an 18-month-old
daughter at home,

13:21.600 --> 13:24.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and one thing I know
for certain,

13:24.600 --> 13:27.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
our Christmases will always
be filled with music.

13:29.200 --> 13:34.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
So my first job ever, actually,
was as the cantor at my church.

13:34.166 --> 13:36.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So I would sing for weddings
and baptisms and, of course,

13:36.933 --> 13:40.100 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Christmas services. And
ever since then,

13:40.100 --> 13:44.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
this next carol has been one
of my absolute favorites,

13:44.166 --> 13:46.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
one of my mom's absolute
favorites.

13:46.700 --> 13:50.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

it's timeless,

share it with you tonight.

touched her deeply.

There, standing in the sunlight,

56:53.133 --> 56:56.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
was a five-year-old girl with
an even younger child

"the rights of the child."

01:04:40.166 --> 01:04:43.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
the Hugo's weekly household
budget was used to pay for

01:04:43.600 --> 01:04:45.233 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
the dinners, and everyone in

01:04:45.233 --> 01:04:47.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the house was engaged
in hosting them.

What inspired this sacrifice?

01:04:52.333 --> 01:04:57.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
From his lookout, Victor
frequently felt something move

01:04:57.133 --> 01:05:00.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
him. Something beyond himself.

01:05:00.533 --> 01:05:06.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
With all the wave's vast
foam, and all the sky's

01:05:06.066 --> 01:05:08.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
great clouds under my window,

01:05:10.066 --> 01:05:16.000 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
my thoughts are loosed by this
giant swaying of the infinite.

01:05:18.166 --> 01:05:19.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
What is not swayed

01:05:21.700 --> 01:05:30.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
is my soul, face to face with
eternity, and my conscience,

01:05:31.300 --> 01:05:34.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
face to face with truth.

01:05:35.400 --> 01:05:38.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
That truth came by way
of an inner light.

01:05:39.166 --> 01:05:42.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
What Victor knew as
his conscience,

01:05:42.133 --> 01:05:44.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
prompting him to love others.

01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
But for him, love had to be
more than warmth of heart.

01:05:51.033 --> 01:05:55.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Three days before he died, he
penned these immortal words:

01:05:57.133 --> 01:05:59.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
"Aimer, c'est agir"

01:06:02.333 --> 01:06:09.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
"Aimer, c'est agir." To
love is to act.

01:06:10.900 --> 01:06:14.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It is a golden thread running
through all Victor's work,

01:06:14.866 --> 01:06:16.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
especially in "Les Miserables."

01:06:16.833 --> 01:06:18.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Many characters love

01:06:18.333 --> 01:06:21.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
so deeply that they sacrifice
to help others

01:06:21.533 --> 01:06:24.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and even save them.
And Jean Valjean,

01:06:25.133 --> 01:06:28.333 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
seeking to love everyone,
spares his enemy,

01:06:28.333 --> 01:06:32.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
rescues the boy he once
resented, and risks all

01:06:32.600 --> 01:06:34.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to bring him home.

01:06:37.466 --> 01:06:40.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
For seven more years,
week in, week out,

01:06:40.566 --> 01:06:44.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
children and adults gathered at
Hauteville House for dinner

01:06:44.200 --> 01:06:46.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
and the annual Christmas feast.

01:06:46.733 --> 01:06:50.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
It came from varied cultures,
religious denominations,

01:06:50.066 --> 01:06:51.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
and political persuasions.

01:06:52.300 --> 01:06:54.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
In response to the
Hugo's example,

01:06:54.566 --> 01:06:57.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
similar efforts were organized
in Great Britain,

01:06:57.433 --> 01:07:00.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the United States, and
many other lands.

01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:04.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
All of this was Victor's
intention.

01:07:07.500 --> 01:07:12.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
Has not the Lord said, suffer
the children to come unto me?

01:07:14.600 --> 01:07:16.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It is my desire

01:07:17.966 --> 01:07:21.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that this invitation be
universally accepted.

01:07:22.700 --> 01:07:25.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
What we are doing is
not a big thing.

01:07:25.666 --> 01:07:30.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
It is a weekly meal
for needy children.

01:07:31.966 --> 01:07:37.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
It is not charity. It
is brotherhood.

01:07:38.300 --> 01:07:42.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It sow seeds of
human solidarity.

01:07:45.066 --> 01:07:48.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%

And it came to pass in those
days that there went out

01:17:01.900 --> 01:17:04.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
a decree from Caesar
Augustus that all

01:17:04.833 --> 01:17:06.833 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
the world should be taxed.

01:17:07.200 --> 01:17:11.733 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%

out of the city of Nazareth,

she should be delivered.

and wrapped him in swaddling
