July Reflection

" At the end of the road, there is no road
but the goal of pilgrimage
At the end of the ascent, there is no ascent
but the summit.
At the end of the night, there is no night but the dawn.
At the end of winter, there is no winter but spring
At the end of death, there is no death but life.
At the end of despair, there is no despair but hope "

A reflection taken from a past edition of 'Safe Home' magazine produced by the Little Sisters of the Poor
