"You cannot acquire the virtue of hope by yourself; the Lord must give it
to you. But another thing is how we use it, administer it, accept it...
The way we look at it, hope is one of the three theological virtues,
along with faith and charity. We normally give more importance to faith
and charity. However, hope is what structures our path in life. One
danger is that we fall in love with the path and lose sight of the goal;
another danger is quietism: to be looking at the goal and doing nothing
on the path. Christianity has experienced times when there were
powerful quietist movements. These go against the commandment of God
which says that we have to transform the world, to work." - Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio
I'm praying for you!
