Peguy says...hope


Charles Peguy

Faith is a church, a cathedral rooted in the soil         of France.
Charity is a hospital, a refuge taking in all the           wretchednesses of the world.
But without Hope all of this would be but a               cemetery.


Little hope walks between her two bigger sisters [faith and charity] and is not even noticed.  Since she is almost invisible, the ‘little’ sister seems to be led by her two bigger sisters’ hand, but with her childlike heart, she sees what the other sisters do not. And with her fresh, innocent joy, she brings along faith and love on Easter morning. It is she, the little one, who sets along everything.
