Hope does not disappoint

As we enter a new year, we enter into a renewed spirit of hope. Reflecting on the words of St. Paul the apostle while addressing the Christians in Rome, we are reminded that the deeper our faith, the more difficult it is for hope to be overthrown and turned into disappointment.

Romans 5:5 teaches us that the grace which is given to us through the Holy Spirit enables us to give love and receive love in return. The world today has been filled with so much anger and hatred and much of what we know as a fast-paced life now includes artificial intelligence that can either make the world better or worse.

The story of Christmas has been a constant reminder for Christians around the world of the love that came to save mankind. This humble story of the Messiah started with a simple family who had no room at the inn yet significantly changed the course of history forever. Today, this most basic unit of the family is constantly under attack, which makes it difficult for the next generation to understand what it really means to be human and a man for others.
