Hope always draws the soul
from the beauty that is seen to what is beyond;
always kindles the desire for what is hidden
through what is perceived.

 
St. Gregory of Nyssa, 4th century

If your confidence were as great as it ought to be,
you would not worry about what may happen to you;
you would place it all in God’s hands,
hoping that when he wants something of you
he will let you know what it is.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

Hope is always strong,
for he who comes to our help is almighty.

 
St. Francis de Sales, 17th century

Turn to God lovingly in every need
and await his help without anxiety.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century

Christian hope offers solid and profound reasons
for a daily commitment to God’s plan.

 
cf. Bl. John Paul II, 20th century

God's word is the promise;
hope enables us to wait with patience
for that which is not seen by those who believe.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

God's word is the promise;
hope enables us to wait with patience
for that which is not seen by those who believe.

 
St. Augustine, 5th century

Have a firm trust that God will provide for all you need,
will direct and protect you
with more than a Father’s love and vigilance.

 
St. Claude de la Colombiere, 17th century
