NOW THE SERVICE BEGINS
Reflection Questions: Is there room in your house for Jesus this Advent season?
How would you have responded to Mary and Joseph if you were the innkeeper
that night? Have you ever thought, after the fact, that God offered you an
opportunity that you let pass by? What are ways you can be more attentive to the
holy in your life this season?
