The first Advent candle lit today represents HOPE. I have found it defined as confident expectation, anticipation of a sure and certain future.
HOPE could be seen in Tyra's trusting eyes.
HOPE was expressed in Tyra's signature smile.
In writing on HOPE, Pope Benedict states "it is not that they know the details of what awaits them, but they know in general terms that their life will not end in emptiness". Tyra's life was full of HOPE & far from empty.

I am unable to think of HOPE without also thinking of healing these days. Unsure which comes first. Is it HOPE that allows one to heal or is it the act of healing that allows one to again feel HOPE? Either way I am thankful for both. May your days too be filled with HOPE.
