Follow the Stars to Bethlehem
Follow the path of stars to the stable in the town of Bethlehem (Day Chapel). Resurrection students decorated the stars; some even have a poem on them. The stable will be empty and waiting during Advent.
“The stable is where God draws close to us. In a world where so many are rejected as unwanted and of lesser importance to humanity, Bethlehem shouts God’s unconditional choice of every human being. In this insignificant stop-off place, the divine choice is lived out in the birth of the very Son of God. God has pitched God’s tent among us. The stable at Bethlehem is the place where God reaches out to the human family in love.” How will we reach out to others during this Advent-time?
