And hope confoundeth not: because the charity of God is poured forth in our hearts.
– Romans 5:5 DRB
The road can feel long and challenging. It may seem dry, cracked, and filled with dull and colorless landscapes. Yet, we hold on to the promise that our suffering produces endurance. This endurance builds character, and from that character, hope emerges. As stated in Romans 5:3-4, these trials shape us into stronger individuals.
Look! Hope is visible on the horizon! As we navigate through life's difficulties, hope becomes our guiding light.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help us to lift our eyes to the heavens and take heart.
Quote
"The world has grown old; the human race is adrift. Well, yes, if we abandon humanity to its natural course, to its fatal direction. No, if the power from on high that is preserved in the religion of Jesus and in His Church is poured out anew on all ranks of the human race and restores them to life.”
//Blessed Anton Martin Slomsek (1800-1862)
Thought
In order to see the horizon, you must keep your chin up.
