«Our Hope must all depend only on the goodness of God and therefore not on our merits which do not exist and which, if there were, it is said that they should be rewarded over time. We must hope with a certain indifference, foreseeing that if the opposite of the hoped-for happens, it means that this is for our best, and not the other ... Perhaps not every day can be sparkling with happiness, but external circumstances do not they will be able to take away from us that dominion over things which, based on trust in God, we must first of all try to nourish»

Pope Leo XIV – General Audience, November 5, 2025
