Hope Quote by Andrew Davison
““The Church knows fully that its message is in harmony with the most secret desires of the human heart, when it champions the dignity of the human vocation, restoring hope to those who now despair of anything higher than their present lot. Its message, far from belittling man, secures the light, life and freedom of his development. Nothing other than this can satisfy the human heart: ‘You have made us for yourself,’ Lord, ‘and our heart is restless until it rests in you.””
