PRAYING THE WAY OF THE INCARNATION: THE GREAT NATIVITY - DAY 26 NINTH STATION Jesus' life is marked by uncertainty from the very moment of his birth. He is certainly accepted by the righteous, who echo Mary's immediate and joyful "yes" (cf. Lk 1:38). But there is also, from the start, rejection on the part of a world which grows hostile and looks for the child in order "to destroy him" (Mt 2:13); a world which remains indifferent and unconcerned about the fulfilment of the mystery of this life entering the world: 'there was no place for them in the inn' (Lk 2:7). In this contrast between threats and insecurity on the one hand and the power of God's gift on the other, there shines forth all the more clearly the glory which radiates from the house at Nazareth and from the manger at Bethlehem: this life which is born is salvation for all humanity (cf. Lk 2:11)." John Paul II, Gospel of Life #33 "The stable at Bethlehem is the first place for solidarity with man: for one man's solidarity with another and for all men's with all men, especially with those for whom there is "no room at the inn" (cf. Lk 2:7), whose personal rights are refused recognition." John Paul II , 24 December 1978 A MORNING OFFERING O my Jesus, I offer You my day for the unborn who have been rejected by our world. There is no room for them at the inn today. Like the unborn of our day, You and Your mother were turned away when Your hour to be born had come. Thank You for sharing in their rejection.
