A Christmas Wish \u2013 Advent with Father Josef<\/h2>\n\n

On the fourth Sunday of Advent, Father Josef shares a Christmas wish:<\/p>\n

I would like to learn from Mary to allow the passion and tenderness of God to dwell and grow within me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would like to learn from Joseph to let my own plans fall and be thwarted by God's plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I would like to learn from the people in Bethlehem not to oversleep the saving hour, to open myself to God when he stands stranger and unrecognised at my door ... knocks at my door and seeks shelter ...\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

You can read more about church services and prayer at Admont Abbey on the page Worship & Prayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
