When we cannot control the situation, can we still turn with Hope in God?

Let us reflect on Hope and Unity. In the current situation where we see division and fragmentation, wars, trade and tariff wars, or even conflict within ourselves, without the God factor in our lives, we can go into despair and despondency. Let us hold onto Hope as we acknowledge that we cannot control the situation, but with hope in God, things may be better- not just in the here-and-now, but in life after the here-and-now.- Novena Devotion by Fr. Peter Wee, C.Ss.R. (14 June 2025)
