  1. Be Hopeful!

  2. Hope is a Virtue • Hope keeps us searching for true happiness…and God IS true happiness. • Christian hope finds its foundation in the death and resurrection of Jesus – because he died and rose again, we have hope for life after death and salvation. • Hope sustains us – it keeps us going during difficult times. • Hope is sustained by prayer. In the Bible, it states, “We walk by faith, not by sight.”

  3. The First Commandment… You shall not worship false Gods. • We are called to avoid idolatry (money, power, fame, etc) and place our HOPE in God. • Making assumptions, and giving in to despair means we are refusing to place our trust and hope in God. • Virtues and attitudes (like those developed through the Beatitudes) allow us to do what is good and avoid doing evil.

  4. Reflection • Listen to the following song, and consider what it is that you hope for in your life. • What would your hopes be, for someone you love? For yourself? • Select a line, word, image, or part of the song (using the lyrics provided), and write a response.
