A Hidden LifeLived Faithfully Helps the World
From the movie "A Hidden Life"
The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistorical acts and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

First Week of Advent
1st Sunday of Advent: Hope
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”
-Desmond Tutu
As we light the 1st Candle,
“The Candle of Hope” help me Lord to remember that it symbolizes Your promises delivered by the prophets as direct messages from You.
Throughout the Biblical narrative, You weave the promise and appearance of a Savior. One example….
Prophecy:
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14).
Fulfillment:
"The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35).
Paul describes Jesus Christ as “our hope” (1 Timothy 1:1) and “the blessed hope” (Titus 2:13). Jesus came not only to bring hope, He became, He is our Hope.
