Hope in the Lord

The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception present "Journey Through Advent" with Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC. In this series, Fr. Anthony will help us to dive deeper into the holy penitential season of Advent, preparing ourselves for Our Lord's Birth on Christmas. Join Fr. Anthony as he answers some of the burning questions you may have regarding this season, helping you to make this Advent season more fruitful and spiritually rewarding!

In this episode, Fr. Anthony reminds us of the meaning of the theological virtue of hope as we come to anticipate the Incarnation of the Christ. He encourages us to seek out the Sacraments this Advent — Are we seeking reconciliation for our sins in the Sacrament of Confession? Are we worthily receiving Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist? Do we visit Jesus in Adoration?

This Advent, seek the opportunity to conduct a “Eucharistic Checkup,” as we prepare our hearts for the arrival of the Savior on Christmas Day.
