The things we hope for lead us to faith, while the things we hope in lead us to charity.

Without spiritual landmarks, mankind wanders . . . Without the word of God, we walk in circles.

The Wright brothers committed themselves to do what no one else had ever done before. They took time to do their homework. They were humble and smart enough to appreciate and learn about the work of others who went before. And they tackled the problem line upon line, precept upon precept.

HOPE sustains us through despair. Hope teaches that there is reason to rejoice...even when all seems dark around us.

It is an important part of our life’s experience to develop the strength, courage, and integrity to hold fast to truth and righteousness despite the buffeting we may experience.

Patience-the ability to put our desires on hold for a time-is a precious and rare virtue. We want what we want, and we want it now. Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter. Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect. Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.

Hope is a leg of a 3-legged stool with Faith and Charity.
