Advent is the season of Hope… As I read the gospel passage for the day, I really have a hard time seeing or hearing the hope.

We have so many things that can seem to be our savior or our god, and from time to time these things change. One day we may place our trust in Jesus our savior, and other days it maybe in our talents or our money.
