written by Gary Priour for the newsletter in 1997, reflecting on what keeps people like him going in a vocation that leads regularly to peaks of inspiration, as well as to valleys of traumatic disappointment -- one in which daily life is continuously infused with the crises of others. |

I have become a willing prisoner of hope, compelled to expect and acknowledge the purposeful presence of the Father in all situations and at all times. What we have experienced in twenty years at HCYR, the whole of it, the victories and the trials, stand as testimony, not to our own goodness or strength, but to the abiding love and enduring power of a God who reveals Himself in triumph and disaster. It seems that His plan exists outside the realm of worldly circumstances, to which we often become most attached and give full attention. Rather, His interventions seem to pursue and offer love to the soul, that part to which we attribute the greatest insubstantiality and on which we are therefore least likely to gamble our personal destinies.
