Today is the first Sunday of Advent.

Did you know that each candle on the Advent wreath represents a theme for that week? This week, we focus on the word hope. What does hope mean for you in your life this Advent season? Do you hopefully look forward to Jesus’ coming? Is there something you are hoping for in your life right now?

Tony Dipre, director of the Office for Human Life, reflects on what hope means during this season of Advent.
