Esperança
A esperança cristã não é desejo vago — é certeza inabalável fundamentada nas promessas de Deus. Ela é âncora da alma, firme e segura, que penetra até o interior do véu.
Esperança viva
Bendito seja Deus que nos gerou de novo para uma esperança viva, mediante a ressurreição de Jesus Cristo.
