Hope in the Waiting (borrowed from our church bulletin)
Hope is a GIFT that God grows and cultivates in us, especially during this Advent season that emphasizes waiting in times of darkness. Even in situations of suffering and evil, we can ask for an increase in and grow in the virtue of hope.
“Prepare the way of the Lord!” John the Baptist declares in our Sunday reading. To prepare the way is to internally take stock of what we’re trying to keep in the dark away from the transforming power of Christ.
Have hope in the God who wants abundant life for you and wants you running in true freedom, for our God is faithful.
"God had no need to become man; man was already made through Him. It was we who needed God to become man and dwell among us." St. Hilary of Poitiers
