1st Sunday of Advent: Our Hope!

Isaiah 60:1-5 

The Glory of Zion

  “Arise, shine, for your light has come,
   and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
 See, darkness covers the earth
   and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
   and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
   and kings to the brightness of your dawn. “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
   All assemble and come to you;
your sons come from afar,
   and your daughters are carried on the hip.
 Then you will look and be radiant,
   your heart will throb and swell with joy...
