“The season of Advent means there is something on the horizon the likes of which we have never seen before …
What is possible is to not see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you.
And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God’s [back] fade in the distance.
So stay.
Sit.
Linger.
Tarry.
Ponder.
Wait.
Behold.
Wonder.
There will be time enough for running. For rushing. For worrying. For pushing. For now, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon.”
~ Jan L. Richardson
Christ does not force His entry into a home. He enters only by invitation. He remains only when evidently welcome. - Christ in the Home
St Andrew Novena Nov 30 - Dec 24
Hail, and blessed be the hour and moment
At which the Son of God was born
Of a most pure Virgin
At a stable at midnight in Bethlehem
In the piercing cold
At that hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee,
To hear my prayers and grant my desires (mention request here)
Through Jesus Christ and His most Blessed Mother
