Every year during Advent we slowly come to realize and to believe that there is a deeper hope, a truer and more profound liberation. We are called to grow in our hope and our faith and to believe Christ will be our light! Enjoy the weekly reflection videos presented by the Leadership Council.
The fourth Sunday of Advent: candle of love
The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of our divine nature—hope and faith, peace, joy, and love. Ellen Rinke, IHM, joins Christians around the world in lighting the fourth Advent candle. Love is a candle shining in a dark place.
The third Sunday of Advent: candle of joy
Margaret Chapman, IHM, lights the third Advent candle as we celebrate Christ’s love for us and for all creation. We are invited to “Shout for Joy, our God is in our midst!”
The second Sunday of Advent: candle of peace
As we await the advent of Jesus, how do you prepare? How can you make the path straight? What obstacles are in your way to finding the Peace that Christ Jesus promises? In this second week of advent, Marianne Gaynor, IHM, asks us to reflect on one of our challenges and find a way through it.
The first Sunday of Advent: candle of hope
Hope is a light shining in a dark place. As Pat McCluskey, IHM, lights this candle, we celebrate the hope we have in Christ.
