Monday of the Second Week in Advent
Deacon Robert Banet
Can’t you go any faster?
I’m going over the speed limit as it is, Mary.
This doesn’t look like the way to St. Margaret’s Hospital.
That’s right. I’ve got a better idea.
I hope it’s better than this junk heap you bought. Where are we headed?
Out on Burnham Avenue. There’s an old barn where we can go.
A barn! Are you out of your mind?
Don’t worry, Mary. It’s all arranged. You’ll be fine.
Oh, Joseph, I sometimes wonder why I married you.

Did it really happen that way, Grandpa?
Well, son, not really. But it was God’ plan to be born in poverty, away from all the comforts and conveniences that we have today. It was God’s choice.
