HOPE: how we and our world need it!
Thomas Merton wrote, “We must sometimes expect our hope to come in conflict with darkness, desperation, and ignorance. The fact that the world is other than it might be does not alter the truth that Christ is present in it and that his plan has been neither frustrated nor changed; indeed, all will be done according to his will.” The question for us is always: How/where am I being called to help make God’s design happen right here and now?
