Hope, the Opposite of Despair...
Man's way leads to a hopeless end, God's way leads to an
endless hope.
Where there is life, there is hope.
GOD is the only
ultimate hope we have.
I am not what I ought to be. I am not what I wish
to be. I am not what I
hope to be. It is only
by the Grace of God that I am not what I was!
The holy
father is a person of hope.
The prophets are the ones who bring out
Christianity's dimension of hope.
They are the
channels of access to what must still come to pass and,
therefore, allowing us to go beyond time to
attain what is essential and
definitive. Pope
Benedict XVI
There are other deaths besides bodily death. There is the
death of the
spirit, the death of hope, and the
death of dreams.
The first commandment embraces the theological virtues
of faith, hope,
and charity.
Faith is
the root, hope is the stem, and love is the flower on a
single
plant. Peter Kreeft
An elder
Cherokee native American was teaching his grandchildren about
life. He said to them, "A fight is going on
inside me...it is a terrible
fight and it is
between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger,
envy,
sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The
other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship,
empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and
faith.
This same fight is going on inside
you, and inside every other person
too." They
thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old
Cherokee simply relied...
"The one you
feed."
Three things in life that you should never
lose-
1.
Hope
2.
Peace
3. Honesty
"I hope you have
a nice trip 'til the sidewalk ends and Heaven begins'."
A quote from Father
Dwyer.
2Corinthians 4:8-10
" We are troubled on every side,
yet not distressed;
we are perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted,
but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in
the body the dying of the Lord Jesus,
that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our body."
