Authors of Into the Deep, a blog offered by Ignatian Ministries, were invited to write about who, for them, were Witnesses of Hope for the latest series.
I chose to write about youth because they are, more often than not, the ones who demonstrate hope for me.
They are the ones who show me BOTH what is possible AND challenge me to do better.
Here’s an excerpt:
“One day, you young people will change things, right?” Isn’t that what we adults often say? I know I both covet the resilience of young people, and long for their hopeful witness to impart real change in this world.
But I think God is inviting me to ponder why I rest so much on their shoulders. I think God is inviting me to ask the question: “God, what is mine to do in response?”

And then explore the whole series… it’s a reminder that there are witnesses to hope all around us, if we just open our eyes to see.
