As disciples of Christ, we can in our day rise above those ancient Israelites who moaned, “Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost.”¹⁵ Indeed, if we finally lose hope, we lose our last sustaining possession. It was over the very gate of hell that Dante wrote a warning to all those traveling through his Divina Commedia: “Abandon all hope,” he said, “ye who enter here.”¹⁶ Truly when hope is gone, what we have left is the flame of the inferno raging on every side. – Jeffrey R. Holland, “A Perfect Brightness of Hope,” Ensign (CR) May 2020
