Time of Hope

30 November 2024

Advent is a time of active waiting, an invitation to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. In this period of grace, we are called to be ‘artisans of care’, reflecting in our lives the tenderness, compassion and commitment that come from following Christ.

This time of waiting invites us to look at the world with new eyes, to discover God’s footprints in our reality and to build an environment of hope where care is our way of being.

To be artisans of care in Advent means to open ourselves to the mystery of the Incarnation with a heart ready to love and serve.

Like Mary, who lovingly cared for Jesus, we are invited to live with humility and joy, bringing comfort and tenderness to others. May this Advent be a time to kindle in our hearts the light of hope and to bring it to every corner of the world.

During these days, the text “María Antonia París, friend and companion in the journey” is being distributed.
