Advent Reflection

As the days grow shorter and the nights become colder,
we look for signs of hope during this Advent Season.
There is hope in the evergreens that brave the snow.
There is hope in children's hearts as they look forward to Christmas.
There is hope as more candles are lit on the Advent Wreath.
But the greatest hope is the promise: 鈥淵ou are to conceive
and bear a son and you are to name him Jesus. He will be
great and be called Son of the Most High.鈥�
