Come Away By Yourselves
A Time for Hope
Advent is a perfect time to develop the virtue of hope. Christian hope is a powerful force because it is based on God's power and care for us. Hope is the certain expectation of good things from God and the strength of waiting for them to come from his hand. Christian desire is shaped by hope. In hope, our trust in God goes as far as trusting his vision of our happiness and well-being even beyond our own view of the matter.
