Another Thought on the Importance of Hope...

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (#1917) says,

One is entitled to think that the future of humanity is in the hands of those who are capable of providing the generations to come with reasons for life and optimism.

This is a really important concept to me, especially when looking at things like the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade and how I want to prepare my children to make a difference in this world one day. Also, it seems to me that faith and hope go hand-in-hand, because it is so often a lack of faith that blocks the way.
