HOPE is a spiritual virtue. Like any virtue it takes practice to become stronger. In this case, it is adversity which provides the practice. Reflect upon how often you say or think, “I hope…”. Also reflect upon how many times your hopes have changed—old hopes are fulfilled or not, new hopes take their place.
