Question for the 4th Sunday of Advent

Our reflections of hope during this Advent Season may well be summed up in the words of the popular Christmas Carol “Do you hear what I hear?” Our reflections have suggested that the Christian virtue of hope is founded on the spirit of God. In this last week of Advent we might reflect on what do I hear the voice of the Spirit within me speaking. Are my hopes Spirit based? Do I hear the Spirit not only in my own hopes but also in the hopes of others to whom I may be called to respond? Will the hopes I am attempting to fulfill more fully incarnate the Christ Child for my self and others because they are based on the voice of God. The Word of God has been spoken in the birth of Jesus. What is the Word you hear Him saying to you?
