“Hold fast to the hope that lies before you.

It is an anchor of the soul, sure and firm.”

Hebrews 6:18-19

The Inauguration has set us on a new path, a path to unity and peace. President Biden and Vice-President Harris are pointing the way. They need our prayers to accomplish it. Despite the challenges we face as a nation, there are signs of hope – the vaccine, new opportunities for citizenship for immigrants, greater protection for the environment, and a re-connection with our global allies.

I ask myself, what can I do to further this agenda?

During the next two months, I will send out weekly quotes on the virtue of hope. They will come from a variety of sources. If you would like to share your ideas, please do. My email address is: frmaxolivasj@yahoo.com

God bless you and keep you hopeful,

“That even as we grieved, we grew

That even as we hurt, we hoped

That even as we tired, we tried”

Amanda Gorman
