I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.― Pope John Paul II
While the tempest rages the faithful person knows that all will be well whatever the sacrifices, whatever the cost there being an awareness that when we follow the guidance of Our Saviour's word speaking to us from within our heart, hope will lead us through those days when fear attempts to divert us from our way ahead into a more rewarding life filled with peace.
We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.― Pope John Paul II
It is during times of crisis that our faith in God is tested, often pushing our endurance to its limits sufficiently to doubt that Our Father will protect us, when doing all that He asks of us by surrendering our dread of the unknown into the care of The Saviour.
The cross means there is no shipwreck without hope; there is no dark without dawn; nor storm without haven.― Pope John Paul II
Stories that speak of doubt, uncertainty, confusion, and an nearness to ending it all also address a sudden, even dramatic change in temperament responding to a positive feeling emerging from within their inner self, offering encouragement that with just a little more time, and patience a remedy will appear to resolve the overwhelming struggle that brought them to close to death.
The true Christian can nurture a trustful optimism, because he is certain of not walking alone. In sending us Jesus, the eternal Son made man, God has drawn near to each of us. In Christ he has become our travelling companion. ― Pope John Paul II
