Isaiah 40:1

Comfort ye -- what a good word to the human heart from the heart of God. That word is the best word. To know that the Creator is also the comforter is to have peace at the center. Behind the cosmos is One who cares. He who knows all is he who loves most. You are known completely. And you are loved eternally. Therefore: "Comfort ye."

...Amid our crushing burdens, and those gnawing anxieties which torment so terribly, it speaks to us. Right beside the suffering we endure, which might drive out the saving trust, there stands the word to lift up our hearts: "Comfort ye." For our iniquity is pardoned. That is the news beautiful which breaks upon us in Advent.

Joseph E. McCabe in Handel's Messiah: A Devotional Commentary

Dear Mary, Virgin of Advent, we rejoice with you to know the comfort of God through the Divine Child in your heart and womb, Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
