We Need to Believe in a World of Hope

I have a lot of random thoughts. I’ll bring those up first and then I’ll try and bring it all together. First a word about the difference between my stole and the alter cloth. Historically, the color for Advent was purple and the color for Lent was purple because they’re both seen as seasons of penitence. But we don’t like penitence all that much really so about 30 years ago, there was a thought going out there that Advent and Lent should be different because the seasons are somewhat different and that Advent is the dawning of a new age.
