About this episode

Bishop Jim Curry reflects on the message of hope during Advent, emphasizing the unification of heaven and earth through Jesus.

15 December This Wave of Hope reflection for Advent comes from Bishop Jim Curry, Lead Bishop for the Holy Land for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. Jesus was born into a mess, says Bishop Jim, but we should never lose hope that, in Him, the world can be different. “Jesus comes in order to unite heaven and earth. Not for us to wait for heaven on earth, but to unite heaven and earth. A new creation has already begun, and the possibility of that new creation can never be exhausted. That’s the hope that sustains us.” Wave of Hope offers 25 short multimedia reflections for the season – one a day – as our contributors share a moment in 2025 that has led them to a place of hope.
