 You know, as we're, as you're talking and as we're talking, I had this suddenly this vision of a of a nativity, you know, set a beautiful one comes to comes to mind, and we're, we're drawing near to each of the of the primary characters right in that in that reality so that we can draw near to Jesus. Yes. And maybe help us make that connection. So, in behold, and in your vision for this deeper dive into Advent, deeper immersion of the heart into the reality of Christ, you know, coming again, Christ coming again in our hearts. How did you, how do you bring it all to together for folks? Well, in many ways it really comes together in the stable where Jesus is born and, you know, it's been likened by many, many people like our hearts are like a stable. And there's all kinds of things in a stable. There's, there's cows and there's, you know, animals and there's drafting is kind of dirty and in that place Jesus chooses to be born. And he's not afraid of our stable. And he comes to be born in the stable of our lives in the stable of our marriages and the stable of our religious communities and the stable of our families. And it's the very places we think there's no way Christ could want to be born here. He does. And so he is bringing holiness into every single he's bringing ordered love. He's bringing love and truth to every part of our life. And so as we allow him to, to bring those relationships together, as we allow him to heal those relationships and bring us into wholeness and communion, then our lives take on the vibrancy of Christ. And, and what we see is our, you know, our family, our family is perfect. No, they're not going to be without fault. They're not going to be without defect this, this side of heaven. But is the Lord doing something very beautiful in it? Yes, he is. Yes, he is. And we don't have to continue to live another year in our families. You know, many, all of us have stories of families and sometimes, you know, families where one half the family doesn't speak to the other half of the family, or we don't talk to Uncle so and so anymore, or, you know, just all the things even we do in our immediate families that are, that just really don't bring about love or communion, they bring about divisiveness. And at least for our end and on our end of the picture, what is Jesus inviting us to this advent so we can live in humility and truth and and offer the gift of love. That is, is a witness and that's the kind of holiness that can't be faked right where the Jesus comes into our life and he through his relationship with us and through his presence in us. It's the fragrance of Christ that people encounter and, and that's the journey of our life, but it happens in real ways and it happens around a family. I think sometimes we think we're healed or we live in isolation. I'll just be holy over here by myself or I'll, I'll be healed over here by myself and it doesn't happen like that. It happens in communion and communion with God within ourselves with other people. So we need each other and in the mystery of life, God has given us our family and God knows what he's doing in that. And so we continue to pray for all the members of our family and ask for homeless and communion, real conversion of heart, real beauty, you know, real, real reunification in the places where there wasn't in a deeper restoration, the places that are. You know, one of the things that came to mind so vividly when you started to talk about our souls being the stables with all kinds of, you know, untoward things in them. It reminded me years ago, I went through the exercises with my director and it, and, you know, maybe somebody needs to hear this because I was led to a memory and it brought great shame, deep, ungodly shame. And what was so fascinating, difficult and beautiful was that as, as we were talking about inviting God into that, inviting our Lord into that, I remember from this deep sorrow and this deep shame uttering the words, he, he can't love me there. Oh, yeah. Like he can love me everywhere else but he doesn't love me there. And it was, it was an utterance that came out of a truth, something that I was holding on to. And so beautiful was then to take that into, we had a chapel, we have a chapel here in the retreat house but at the time we had a chapel on our third story of our house and I just got on my face and I, I took myself just quickly there and I invited the Lord in. And he walked into that memory. And I can tell you, it was the most exquisite experience because it was healed, it was gone, all the pain, all the shame, all of it. And he just so desires to meet us in those places, whether it's in our, in our own brokenness, things that we've done or things that have happened in our family and the scars and the pains and the disappointments and because pain just seems to pile on to pain. Yeah. Wounds pile on to wounds. I always talk about the enemy being an opportunist, you know, finds that and boy he's going to grab a hold of it and he's going to manipulate us and, and then he's going to attract other of our nemesis to that are similar through other people to pile on to that and it just seems to go on and on but the Lord, if we'll just draw near when he meets us in that it's gone and it's healed. It's very beautiful.
