Great expectation

http://www.denisemorencygannon.org/keep-the-fire-burning/"Into this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ has come uninvited.But because he cannot be at home in it, because he is out of place in it, and yet he must be in it, his place is with those others for whom there is no room.His place is with those who do not belong, who are rejected by power because they are regarded as weak, those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons, tortured, exterminated.With those for whom there is no room, Christ is present in this world." Thomas Merton

Reflection

What will you let go of in your life this Advent to make room for Christ?

Will it be an old resentment? Material goods you can do without? Prejudice, judgment or anger? Regrets from your past that you believe no one can forgive? Entitlement? Grief? Poor health?

What stands in the way of to welcome the Prince of Peace to come and live within the inn of your own heart ? Whatever your reason, Advent is a time of great expectation. Grace floods through the doors of our inns when we open them widely, without doubt or hesitation. Are your ready? 

"Keep awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." Mt 24:42,First Sunday of Advent, A

Advent. The time of great expectation for God to do marvelous deeds.
