[Sundaycommunity] Fwd: Zoom link for Dec 6 at11 AM

[Brian Shaughnessy]

NO ROOM AT THE INN
________
I see a main road very crowded. The people are spurring their mounts, and
those on foot are walking fast because it is cold. A wintry day.
The ground is undulating, and its undulations are getting clearer and
clearer. It is a real hilly place. There are valleys and slopes covered
with grass, and ridges. The road runs through the centre and runs
south-east.
Mary is on a little grey donkey, all enveloped in a heavy mantle.
Joseph is walking on the side and holding the reins: "Take heart. We shall
soon be in Bethlehem. Ephrathah is beyond that mountain."
They meet a shepherd, who cuts across the road with his herd, and Joseph
gets him to milk for Mary a big sheep with swollen udders, after pulling a
coarse bowl out of his knapsack.
They take to the road again. A wider valley can be seen from the crest they
have climbed over. In the valley, up and down the soft slopes surrounding
it, there are many houses. It is Bethlehem.
Joseph: "Here we are in David's land, Mary. You will be able to rest. You
look so tired."
Mary: "No, I was thinking... I think..., I really think that the time has
come!"
Joseph: "O Lord of Mercy, what shall we do? You must be suffering a lot."
Mary: "Oh, no. I am full of joy."
But Joseph is not joyful. He goes from door to door asking for a room.
Nothing. They are all full. They reach the hotel. Even the rustic porches
surrounding the large inner yard are full of campers.
Joseph leaves Mary on the donkey inside the yard and he goes out looking in
other houses. He comes back thoroughly disheartened. He has not found
anything. The fast winter twilight is beginning to spread its shadows.
Joseph implores the hotel-keeper. He implores also some of the travellers.
He points out that they are all healthy men, that there is a woman about to
give birth. He begs them to have mercy. Nothing.
There is a rich Pharisee who looks at them with obvious contempt, and, when
Mary goes near him, he steps aside as if he had been approached by a leper.
Joseph looks at him and his face blushes with disdain. Mary lays Her hand
on his wrist to calm him and says: "Don't insist. Let us go. God will
provide."
They go out to where the shepherd told them to go if all else fails. Behind
the hotel towards the country where in the mountain there are stables used
by merchants for their animals.
They follow the wall of the hotel, and turn into a little street that runs
between the hotel and some poor houses. The stables are, more, grottos or
cellars, I would say, rather than stables. They are so low and damp, and
the best have already been taken. Joseph is utterly disheartened.
It looks like the foundations of an old building, with the roof formed by
rubble supported by coarse tree trunks. It has no door and Joseph covers
the opening as best he can with his mantle.
[We are told in a much later vision that "the stable" He was born in was in
fact part of the ruins of King David's palace.]
