Hope lies in the gifts and giftings of others. "In my weakness is my strength," St. Paul said. I have come to know the truth of the statement. In the acceptance of my limitations is my hope for salvation from what I cannot handle alone and need not try. In those very limitations is the beginning of my hope that God, working in others, will be the strength I need.
— Joan Chittister, Scarred by Struggle, Transformed by Hope
