Advent is the neglected season. Its spiritual treasures are largely overshadowed by Christmas Carols and shopping sprees. Hope, the major theme of Advent, might also be called the neglected virtue. Its lively strength is often reduced to wishful thinking or earthly desires. This album, produced by a new community of brothers and priests, has songs ranging from chant to gospel to contemporary music. Both album and booklet seek to rediscover Advent's treasures and enkindle biblical hope.
