“Am I not here, I, who am your Mother?”
“What the Church proclaims to the world is the Logos of Hope (cf. 1 Pet 3:15); in order to be able to live fully each moment, men and women need the great Hope which is ‘the God who possesses a human face and who has loved us to the end (Jn 13:1)’.”
Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini §91
“Do not allow yourselves to be robbed of hope. May we not be robbed of hope, because this strength is a grace, a gift from God which carries us forward with our eyes fixed on heaven.”
