O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter;  we are all the work of your hand.  Is 64 

Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. Ps 80 

“Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come.” Mk. 13 

Hopeful Waiting, Hopeful Watching, Hopeful Remembering 

Advent Reminds us:  We are the clay – not the potter
