God's Hope

I read this quote from Archbishop Fulton Sheen recently. I hope it is as inspiring to you as it is to me.

Our Blessed Lord was hopeful about humanity. He always saw men the way He originally designed them. He saw through the surface, grime, and dirt to the real man underneath. He never identified a person with sin... Just as every mother sees her own image and likeness in her child's face, so God always saw the divine image and likeness beneath us. - Archbishop Fulton Sheen "Your Life is Worth Living"
