How does one progress in hope?
- Reinforce the foundations, the motives the reasons. Meditate on God's power, his goodness and glorious promises.
- Effort: be on guard against presumption or despair.
- Voluntary detachment, daily renunciation, self-denial.
- Filial confidence in God: he didn't even spare his own Son (Romans 8:32-34)
- Implore the gift of final perseverance, with the help of the our Blessed Mother.
