Hope
“Hope is not about the future, it’s about the present… it obviously has to do with the future, but it’s a virtue which is cultivated in the present. It fills the present with energy, it connects the two comings of Jesus, so that we are now participate in them we’re not just remembering the one and believing in the other; We are participating in the continuity of the comings”

The Invitation of advent to set our hope back on its rightful place in Jesus.
“Religions Systems that ignore the dark-side of life are fundamentally dishonest… In Advent, we don’t pretend that we are in the darkness before the birth of Christ. Rather we take a good hard look at the darkness we are in now, facing and defining it honestly so that we will understand with utmost clarity that our great and only hope is in Jesus’s final victorious coming”
