The imperative to forgive

Just a few thoughts

• It’s so important to cultivate an attitude that allows us to maintain hope. Hope can make a great difference to how we respond to problems and difficulties. It’s hope that motivates us to get out of bed and carry on with our lives — the hope that we will eventually be able to achieve our aspiration for happiness, the hope that somehow we’ll be able to overcome the obstacles we face — it’s hope that keeps us alive. -- Dalai Lama

• May we seek to develop in our lives the virtues of faith, hope and charity, especially toward our senior citizens, as we observe National Dementia Week.
