Hope means to keep living
amid desperation
and to keep humming
in the darkness.
Hoping is knowing that there is love,
it is trust in tomorrow
it is falling asleep
and waking again
when the sun rises.
In the midst of a gale at sea,
it is to discover land.
In the eyes of another
It is to see that he understands you.
….
As long as there is still hope
There will also be prayer.
….
And God will be holding you
in his hands.
네덜란드 출신의 로마 가톨릭 신부요 신학자요 영성가인 헨리 나우엔(1932-1996)이 소망을 노래한 시입니다. 소망은 우리의 삶에 없어서는 안되는 필수요소입니다. 소망중에 주님과 항상 동행하시기를 바랍니다.
