Day 23 Advent Reflection

… there is a Father who weeps with us; there is a Father who sheds tears of infinite compassion for his children. We have a Father who knows how to weep, who weeps with us. A Father who awaits us in order to console us because he knows our suffering and has prepared a different future for us. This is the great vision of Christian hope, which expands over all the days of our life, and seeks to raise us up once more.

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

From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
