Day 17 Advent Reflection

And what are we? We are dust that aspires to the Heavens. Our strength is weak, but the mystery of the grace that is present in the life of Christians is powerful. We are faithful to this earth which Jesus loved every instant of his life, but weknow, and we want to hope in the transfiguration of the world, in its definitive accomplishment where finally there will be no more tears, evil, or suffering.

(~ from Pope Francis’ “A Light in the Night – Meditations on Hope.” (Jubilee 2025), ‘Dust That Aspires to Heaven’)

He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
