Day 22 Advent Reflection

The closing pages of the Bible show us the ultimate horizon of our journey as believers: the heavenly Jerusalem, the celestial Jerusalem. It is envisioned first of all as an immense tent, where God will welcome all mankind so as to dwell with them definitively (Rev 21:3). This is our hope. And what will Goel do, when we are with him at last?

(~ from Pope Francis’ “A Light in the Night – Meditations on Hope.” (Jubilee 2025), Make All Things New)

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
