John-George said - "CAREFUL GF YOU ARE GETTING NEAR THE NO-HOPE-SPHERE."
"Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy - Hail - our Life, our Sweetness and our Hope!
We're "on trial for HOPE!" (Acta 26:26; Kevin O'Shea CSsR 1972 "On Trial for Hope" Spectrum Press).
"The FUTURE of Mankind lies in the hands of those whose Faith, Hope and Love are strong enough to give current and coming generations reason and reasons for living and hoping" [Gaudium et Spes, n.31].
Papers prepared for Brisbane's Catholic Synod-2003 totalled 20,000 words. "Faith" was mentioned over 100 times. "Love" was mentioned 4 times. And there was no "Hope"!
