And yet I am optimistic and have faith in our people. We all realize that now is the time to strike a balance between stability and gradual reform.

Hope is critical to both faith and charity. When disobedience, disappointment, and procrastination erode faith, hope is there to uphold our faith.

The stronger our hope, the purer our charity.
