week 1During Advent, we encourage you to dive deeper into your spirituality as it relates to thoughts, attitudes and actions toward our neighbors who are vulnerable. Please enjoy this week’s reflection and be inspired to go forward as an agent of hope for our good God.

Hope and Justice

Read: Isaiah 2:1–5

Reflect: Living in hope does not mean abdicating our responsibility to one another. Instead, these scriptures call us to advocate with the most vulnerable while spreading the joy of our faith. As we begin the new liturgical year, how can we live with a spirit of hope, even as we advocate against injustice in the world today?

Take Action: Write a letter to your elected officials advocating for the humane treatment of immigrants, who play such a vital role in our community. Consider supporting a local immigrant aid organization during this Advent Season.

Pray: A Pope’s Prayer for Immigrants
