Pope Benedict XVI

(Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum Caritatis, 35)

First Sunday of Advent

 To Thee have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed: neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on Thee shall be confounded.  Show, O Lord, Thy ways to me: and teach me Thy paths
