[1]Pope Benedict XVI (Philip Chidell[2] / Shutterstock.com[3])
“For Advent is concerned with that very connection between memory and hope which is so necessary to man. Advent’s intention is to awaken the most profound and basic emotional memory within us, namely, the memory of the God who became a child. This is a healing memory; it brings hope. … It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Seek That Which is Above, Ignatius 2007)
