Easter hope

What gives a widow hope as she stands by the grave of her husband? What gives a war-torn amputee hope as he lay in a hospital bed? What gives parents hope who have just lost a child in childbirth? What helps parents when they find out that their kidnapped child was found murdered? The answer to all the above questions is the same - hope, Easter hope. Vaclav Havel said, "hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out."
