This is the eighth of 17 weekday episodes this Advent season that will link bible passages for the day with a Sustainable Development Goals that 193 countries adopted to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda to be achieved by 2030.

Today's quotations are from Isaiah 40:30-31 "Youths shall faint, and labor, and young men shall fall by infirmity.  But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."

Today's reflection is on Sustainable Development Goal number 8: Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
