Act of Hope

The Act of Hope is a short prayer in which the believer places confident trust in God's mercy and his promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Prayed alongside the Acts of Faith and Love, it lifts the heart beyond present struggles toward the goodness God has prepared. Catholics turn to it to rekindle hope when the road feels long.
