When the situation is hopeless, there's nothing to worry about.
Edward Abbey
That the situation is hopeless should not prevent us from doing our best.
Aldo Leopold
Alas for maiden, alas for Judge,
For rich repiner and household drudge!
God pity them both! and pity us all,
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall;
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!"John Greenleaf Whittier
If the divorced are remarried civilly, they find themselves in a situation that objectively contravenes God's law. Consequently, they cannot receive Holy Communion as long as this situation persists. This norm is not at all a punishment or a discrimination against the divorced and remarried, but rather expresses an objective situation that of itself renders impossible the reception of Holy Communion: '... If these people were admitted to the Eucharist, the faithful would be led into error and confusion regarding the Church's teaching about the indissolubility of marriage'.
Benedict XVI (Pope)
Exert yourself to the utmost, however hopeless the situation, and persevere even when all attempts have been unsuccessful.
William the Silent
