“The Mass made a deep impression on Joseph and inspired him to write his own Christmas carol, known in English as “Silent Night, Holy Night” one year later. He wrote it with a guitar accompaniment so that it could be performed at any time and in any place. In keeping with his motto, “Whatever you did for one of the least of my brethren, you did for me”, he may also have been thinking of the people who could not come to church as the snow was too deep or because they were ill, or those who were not allowed to enter the church such as Protestants, divorcees, and other marginalised groups.”
