My priest quoted this at the end of his sermon. I really liked it!
Hope means to keep living
amid desperation
and to keep humming
in the darkness.
Hope 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 you are understood….
As long as there is still hope
There will also be prayer….
And you will be held
In God’s hands.
[Nouwen, Henri J.M. With Open Hands. [Ave Maria Press: Notre Dame, 2005] 75-76.]
