Every
conscious moment is a crossroads; a choice of what to do; and thus vulnerable
to anxiety and regret.
Every
human life – each life being a series of moments, of choices – is vulnerable to
anxiety, regret, travail and discouragement.
Hope
is vulnerable, too, but resilient: after a setback, hope helps us to press on
toward our goals and to persevere in the service of others which gives life
meaning.
Holy
Spirit, we are just individuals, but please help us to cultivate hope and resilience
through clarity of what we can do, and through love.
