Advent and Hope -- II

Today's Verse and Voice reflection included this quote from theologian, pastor and martyr Deitrich Bonhoeffer
A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes ... and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.
Our faith is one of hope and not smug self-assurance and of humility and not triumphal arrogance. It is good to be reminded at the close of Advent what this season represents and what our calling is.
