Hope: An Invitation

Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN, is a woman full of hope, and she's here to help you uncover authentic hope in your life, too. What she offers is real hope - not wishing on a shooting star or hoping you win the lottery, but the messy and risky kind. She also takes an unflinching look at the painful parts of hope, our struggles with hope, and our labors in hope. Authentic hope is powerful and life-giving. It appears foolish to man. But it is the foolishness of God, and "the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom" (1 Cor 1:25). Authentic hope shines light into complete and utter darkness. In HOPE, Sr. Josephine invites you to journey with her to a new depth of hope, to discover the courage to press ahead into the unknown even in difficult and seemingly impossible circumstances. She shares her own struggles to live in hope despite difficult circumstances in her own life, and she reflects on the great problem and the great gift of hope. Ultimately, we must find our hope in the strength of the Lord, not in worldly promises, in which we deceive ourselves into thinking we can manifest good things in our life through our own strength. We need a hope that extends well beyond ourselves and into eternity - a hope that comes from God, who not only has given us hope but allows us to spread this hope to others.
