Pope Francis’ inspiring words on hope

Hope isn’t about ignoring reality or pretending everything is perfect.
It’s the quiet courage to believe that even in the darkest moments, a new tomorrow is possible.

"The future does have a name, and its name is Hope. 

Feeling hopeful does not mean being optimistically naive. Hope is the virtue of a heart that doesn't lock itself into darkness, that doesn't dwell on the past, that does not simply get by in the present, but is able to see a tomorrow. 

Hope is the door that opens onto the future. Hope is a humble, hidden seed of life that, with time, will develop into a large tree. 

And it can do so much, because a tiny flicker of light that feeds on hope is enough to shatter the shield of darkness. 

A single individual is enough for hope to exist — and that individual can be you."
