Papal Quote of the Day: Hope

"There is no shadow, no matter how dark it is, that is capable of clouding the light of Christ.

"Because of this, hope never falters in those who believe in Christ, not today either, faced with the great social and economic crisis in which humanity finds itself... What moves us and guides our activity, both in the good moments and in the bad, is the great hope founded in the promises of God...But precisely this is her joy, which no one can take away: to be the 'sign and instrument' of he who is 'lumen gentium,' light for the peoples."

~ Pope Benedict XVI, in his homily for the Mass on the feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 2009
