"Hope is patience
with the lamp lit."
-Tertullian
For Reflection:
In the face of seemingly impossible circumstances, do I patiently endure with hope or do I give in to discouragement and fear? What one spiritual strategy can I employ to keep my "lamp lit?" 
Section Four: Confession: The Sacrament of Mercy and Healing
"Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin. All hope consists in confession. In confession there is a chance for mercy. Believe it firmly. Do not doubt, do not hesitate, never despair of the mercy of God. Hope and have confidence in confession."-St. Isidore of Seville
