“We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.” [St. Francis de Sales]
"It is by the virtue of hope that we desire to attain the fullness of this happiness in Heaven. Thus, it inspires and sustains us to grow closer to God even when confronted by the hardships of life." [Pope Leo XIV]
"Always give good heed to the Word of God, whether you hear or read it in private, or hearken to it when publicly preached: listen with attention and reverence; seek to profit by it, and do not let the precious words fall unheeded; receive them into your heart as a costly balsam; imitate the Blessed Virgin who 'kept all the sayings' concerning her Son, ‘in her heart.’ And remember that as we hearken to and receive God’s words, so will He hearken and receive our supplications." [St. Francis de Sales, An Introduction to the Devout Life, p.99]
Choose to let God’s Word, permeate your thoughts and actions, allow Hope in God to guide you in life’s storms.
May God Be Praised.
