First Reflection: Waiting Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in time of trouble? Psalm 10:1 Second Reflection: Joy When your greeting sounded in my ears, the baby in my womb leapt for joy... My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. Luke 1:44, 47 Third Reflection: Hope May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
