Hope is a step ahead of you.
love is the voice under all silences,

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.
When you come to the end of all the light you know, and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either you will be given something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.

We are the mother of Christ when we carry him in our heart and body by love and a pure and sincere conscience. And we give birth to him through our holy works which ought to shine to others by our example.
To love means loving the unlovable.
To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.
Faith means believing the unbelievable.
Hope means hoping when everything is hopeless.

We judge of man’s wisdom by his hope.
