11/28/21 Abounding Love: No Room

Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. Two things are clear about the inn at Bethlehem: Love Incarnate showed up and there was no room for Him. Too often, we want to love the way we have been created to love. But we find ourselves incapable of loving this way. Not because we aren't willing or because we don't want to...but because our lives are simply too full. We have no room to love. Mass Readings from November 28th, 2021: Jeremiah 33:14-16 Psalms 25:4-5, 8-10, 141 Thessalonians 3:12—4:2 Luke 21:25-28, 34-36
