Advent opens with a quiet call to stay awake.
Our hope isn’t wishful thinking, it’s confidence that God is already at work in the dark soil of our lives. As the first candle burns, we lean forward toward the promise: the Light will break through.
Let us pray: Come Lord Jesus, open our hearts to your Light.
