From the Introit of the Mass:
“This day you shall know that the Lord will come, and save us: and in the morning you shall see His glory.”
Four candles have burned down to waxy nubs. Our Lord is almost here!
I feel a touch of that anguish that St. Joseph must have felt as he scrambled through the streets of Bethlehem searching for a place for the Blessed Mother of God and the Savior of the World to dwell. Me? I’m just wondering where I put the sherry for that mushroom bisque I’m making for the dinner tomorrow. That’s kind of the same thing, right? I did say a touch; not all the anguish. 
May your day be filled with the joy of that Child Who comes to us defenseless, out of love for us – pure love.
May His Holy Mother, the CO-REDEMPTRIX, keep you close to her Immaculate Heart.
May St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse, protect you.
