✝ You who have buried all hopes, so that you might be wealthy in a Single Hope;

Who have awaited the end of many human aspirations, and seen the ashes;

Who have seen many tear-stained eyes returning from the graveyard of their hopes;

Who have heard many confessions concerning the stench of every worldly hope from the other realm;

And who have permitted yourselves to be crucified for the One Special Hope, which does not end in ashes, nor in a graveyard, nor in a stench.

Pray to God for us. ✝

We hope in that which is unseen. Everything that is seen will fail us. Leave us stranded amidst the flood. Only One will carry us to our true home. He gives us a hand up so that we can take our proper place on the cross with Him.

This One is our hope.
