Faith, hope and charity go together. Hope is practised through the virtue of patience, which continues to do good even in the face of apparent failure, and through the virtue of humility, which accepts God’s mystery and trusts him even at times of darkness. Faith tells us that God has given his Son for our sakes and gives us the victorious certainty that it is really true: God is love! It thus transforms our impatience and our doubts into the sure hope that God holds the world in his hands and that, as the dramatic imagery of the end of the Book of Revelation points out, in spite of all darkness he ultimately triumphs in glory. Faith, which sees the love of God revealed in the pierced heart of Jesus on the Cross, gives rise to love. Love is the light—and in the end, the only light—that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working. – DEUS CARITAS EST, Encyclical Letter, Benedict XVI (Read more…)
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.

Unquestionably imagine that that you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be at the
internet the easiest factor to have in mind of.
I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same
time as people consider worries that they just
do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the whole thing with no need side effect ,
other people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thank you
