Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The hope inherent in the Advent message flows from the promises we hear during this season.
The promise of "a signal for the nations," the promise of a new baptism in "the Holy Spirit and fire," these induce hope in our majestic Lord who will come at the end of time with his winnowing-fan to "gather his grain into the barn."
