5 Ways to Prepare Your Heart This Advent
1. Prepare room at the Inn. Make room in your heart for Jesus.
2. Clean out the cobwebs. First examine your conscience; then go to Confession.
3. Hang new curtains. “Decorate” your heart with joy and hope.
4. Get out the fine china and set the table. Let your attitude be one of enthusiastic expectation.
5. Open the front door and wait. Wait for Christ’s arrival silently and in a spirit of prayer.

Oye, hijo mío el más pequeño, ten entendído que son muchos mis servidores y mensajeros, a quienes puedo encargar que lleven mi mensaje y hagan mi voluntad; pero es de todo punto preciso que tú mismo solicites y ayudes y que con tu mediación se cumpla m voluntad. Mucho te ruego, hijo mío el más pequeño, y con rigor te mando, que otra vez vayas mañana a ver al obispo. Dale parte en mi nombre y hazle saber por entero mi voluntad, que tiene que poner por obra el templo que le pido. Y otra vez dile que yo en persona, la siempre Virgen Santa María, Madre de Dios, te envía.
