Hope

On Hope:
Hope means to keep living amid desperation
and to keep humming in the darkness.
Hoping is knowing that there is love,
it is trust in tomorrow
it is falling asleep and waking again when the sun rises.
In the midst of a gale at sea, it is to discover land.
In the eyes of another it is to see that he understands you.As long as there is still hope.
There will also be prayer.And God will be holding you in God’s hands.
God is our refuge and strength—a very present help in trouble. We thank God for such a promise, for such a hope, and for such a revolution. Let it be so. Let it be so. Amen.
-Father Henri Nouwen
