2nd Sunday in Advent

"Look to the east."
We have had so much stolen from us. Sin and the brokenness of this world have stolen so much from our lives. These words of the first reading are for us. The enemy has sold you a terrible lie in convincing you that the things that have been stolen are gone forever.
Look to the east and do not lose hope. The Lord has given absolutely everything to us that we might have hope. Hope for a great and holy and joyful and full life! God is with us. Emmanuel.
In the midst of this broken and messed up world, You are my hope, O Lord.
