Everyone has issues in life which give rise to uncertainty about the future, to doubts and even anxiety. In this meditation we pray about the virtue which gives reassurance in these situations, the important virtue of hope. We use Pope Francis’ document  for the Jubilee Year 2025, Spes non confundit, a beautiful commentary on hope, to consider how:

• In the face of problems, hope in God fills us with confidence that there will be a solution
• The ultimate object of hope is eternal life with God in heaven
• Hope is founded on God’s love for everyone
• Mary is the model and intercessor before God to give us hope
