Never despair, always have hope! We are on the brink of the abyss, we are perishing, we deserve to perish, we rightfully must perish, after our great ingratitude we are dying: it is precisely we whom Jesus comes to save, to redeem. He comes in His infinite goodness and power to save those who are perishing. Let everyone hope in Him until the last minute, until the last breath!
(Charles de Foucauld /1858–1916/, En vue de Dieu seul)
