In Romans 15, St. Paul says, “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” And he offers this blessing, which we also extend to you: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” May you enjoy a blessed Advent, Christmas, and New Year!
