Advent meets us there, reminding us that with Christ, all things hold the promise of spring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advent hope brings meaning into melancholy by turning our eyes toward the promise of a new heaven and a new earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So as another year closes and the days grow short, we pray with Advent hope: \u201cCome, Lord Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Reflect: Where in your life do you feel a sense of weariness, loss, or closure?
