Hope has a Face

Someone shared with Sr. Jordan, after reading my Imprint article, "Hope has a face." 

I was both humbled and stunned when Sr. Jordan shared those words with me.

"Hope has a face." 

I continue to ponder those words.

Hope does indeed have a face.

But it's not just my face that has hope. It's all of our faces!

We are called to be hope for the hopeless.

Our stories and our hearts matter.

We can either give hope or destroy hope.

"If you desire to be a person of hope, a person who has the will that what is good might be reality, you must be a person of two things: meaning and action." 

Fr. Mike Schmitz

Hope has to come to the hopeless. Hope has to trust and see the good. 

Hope is sharing your heart and uniting it with the hearts of others. 

"Be young people of hope, because if you have hope you will always be happy, and you will then be able to share that happiness with others." 

Chiara Lubich

Hope has a story, hope has a heart, hope has a face.

"Hope never disappoints." Pope Francis
