Nourish the Hope
“I would like to ask you all to see a ray of hope as well in the eyes and hearts of refugees and of those who have been forcibly displaced ... I admire the courage of those who hope to be able gradually to resume a normal life, waiting for joy and love to return to brighten their existence. We can and must all nourish this hope!” — Pope Francis

St. Norbert died on this day in
1134. A worldly person, St.
Norbert took his religious vows
seriously after nearly dying.
Because his fellow monks
resisted reforms, he started a
new, stricter order that
flourished across Europe.
