Hope
 


Let us never lose hope! Let us never allow it to die in our hearts! The “dragon”, evil, is present in our history, but it does not have the upper hand. The one with the upper hand is God, and God is our hope!

Hope
 


Hope is the virtue of those who, experiencing conflict – the struggle between life and death, good and evil; believe in the resurrection of Christ, in the victory of love.

Hope
 


It is true that nowadays, to some extent, everyone, including our young people, feels attracted by the many idols which take the place of God and appear to offer hope: money, success, power, pleasure. Often a growing sense of loneliness and emptiness in the hearts of many people leads them to seek satisfaction in these ephemeral idols. Dear brothers and sisters, let us be lights of hope! Let us maintain a positive outlook on reality.

Hope
 


You have asked me for a word of hope, and the one word I have to give you, is Jesus Christ. When everything seems too much, when it seems that the world is crashing down around you, embrace his Cross, draw close to him and please, never let go of his hand; please, never leave him.

Hope
 


Anyone who is a man or a woman of hope – the great hope which faith gives us – knows that even in the midst of difficulties, God acts and he surprises us. God always surprises us…God always saves the best for us. But he asks us to let ourselves be surprised by his love, to accept his surprises.
