Today the Catholic Church will light up for a week the Purple Candle - The Candle of Hope, it symbolizes faith in God keeping his promises to humanity.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 13:33-37
Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.
It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch.
Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning.
May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.
What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch!'"
