This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

And let's offer this Rosary for all those we've promised to pray for.

St. John of the Cross, whose feast we celebrate today,

writes,

The immense blessings of God can only enter and fit into an empty and solitary heart.

Jesus was not born in the inn in Bethlehem because there was no room.

Jesus was born in a cave because it was empty.

If... was empty. If there had been room in the inn, then Jesus would have been born there.

Too bad for the innkeeper. That family would still be making a lot of money today from pilgrims coming to the birthplace of Jesus.

See, it was a very bad long-term decision not to make room for Jesus.

But this is the way we operate.

We forsake long-term gains for short-term,

because we do not make room for Jesus in our day.

Learn the lesson from the poor innkeeper.

This advent, make more room for Jesus by setting aside time to be alone and in silence with Jesus in prayer.

Advent is the time to make more room for God.

Our Father who arts in heaven, hallow would be your name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us a day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those a trespassacts against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us

from evil.
