The Heart as a Manger

This week we have a guest priest named Fr Brian Mullady.  He shared an interesting Advent insight. 

Just as people put up a manger and prepare for Christmas, but more importantly, the human heart can also become a manger, a dwelling place for the Christ Child.  

I have the option of saying: "there's no more room in the inn" or "I do have a place.  You can dwell in my heart.

In my heart I will keep you warm.  I also have room for you too BVM and St Joseph.  It may be a small place, but your presence can stretch my capacity for great things, more than I can ever imagine possible.

I do have room for you in my heart.  But I do need to remove some things that do not belong here.  I want you to call it your home.  My home is your home!  

Happy Advent!
