HOLIDAY/JOE BIDEN/USA: “I’m reminded of a quote about this season from the Jesuit Priest Alfred Delp.

He wrote, ‘Advent is the time for rousing.’

Delp believed that first we are shaken to our depths.

Then we’re ready for a season of hope.

As a nation, we have certainly been shaken to our depths this year.

Now it’s time to awaken, to get moving — for hope.

We’ve gotten through tough times before in this nation.

And we’ll get through these difficult times as well.

And we’ll do it by coming together by working with one another.

By being what we are at our best — the United States of America.”
