Episode 68: "While they were expressing thanks to him with songs and palm branches [as he made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem], he was weeping because he knew that despite those exterior signs and decorations their hearts were far from him." – St. John of the Cross, The Ascent of Mount Carmel (Book 3, Chapter 38)
Despite all the exterior signs of our preparedness for the birth of Christ (that is, the presents and decorations and cookies and cards, just to name a few), are our hearts far from the Lord's? This is the question author and host Julia Monnin ponders this episode as she shares some thoughts on what it truly means to "Enter into the Heart of Christmas." Using Luke 19:28–48 (Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem, Jesus Cleanses the Temple) as her inspiration, Julia offers some encouragement for those striving to prepare their hearts well to receive Him. She ends this episode by taking another look at Reflection #148 titled "Stuffed and Consumed" from her first book The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume I, My Wanderings. (Oh, yeah, and she makes an exciting announcement! . . . Julia's next book, The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume II, My Trials and Tribulations will be released January 2, 2023—the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.)
