"Bring your lamp to those without light, enkindle the flame of love in those without hope." (Tagore) ~from a holy card I picked up in Rome in 2005 . . .
I began this blog as a place to share some of the things that have increased my hope during challenging times--with the hope that it may do the same for others as well. I welcome your comments.

“A friend comes to the rescue in time of need, and if he is aware of the truth of friendship, he directs his friend just as if her were himself and puts his own members at his disposal if he has lost his . . . A friend is a lighted coal, and if placed beside it, it can rekindle a dead one.” (Bl Simon Fidati of Casica)
Witnesses to Hope 
I read your posts in Witnesses, and am blessed by them. Thanks. I can use all the wisdom I can get. I love your inspiration to leave your Christmas decorations around until Feb. 2. I always feel cheated out of more time to celebrate that wondrous feast of the Incarnation.
