Sunday, December 17, 2017: (Third Sunday of Advent)

Jesus said: “My people, it is not easy to travel on foot in Israel, especially when someone is pregnant. It was the decree of the Emperor of the Romans that called St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary to Bethlehem. This was to fulfill the prophecy of Micah 5:1 ‘But you, Bethlehem-Ephratha too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for Me One who is be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times’. Give thanks to St. Joseph for taking care of My Blessed Mother in finding a place to stay.”
