Every season we mark our calendars to celebrate advent, the arrival of Jesus. More than just candles to light and readings to recite, this time of year is designed to help us anticipate this arrival with our heart, mind and spirit. Over the next four weeks leading to Christmas Eve, we will heighten our anticipation through the traditional lenses of hope, peace, joy and love. Each of these topics is steeped in Scripture, and each of them also find their true meaning and fulfillment in Jesus.
