Reflections

…hope is openness for surprise.

Above all, hope is based on relationships, on a collaborative connection with people as well as a higher power.

Hope just means another world might be possible, not promised, not guaranteed.

God is not remote from us.

Sr. Ruth Droege, OP, PhD

One mustn’t close one’s eyes to difficulty and to shortcomings; the more one recognizes them, the less they upset one.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God.

I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope .

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
