Absolutely!

Certainly. We are not only to hope for it, but to strive for it. Recall how St. Paul compares things to running a race – doesn’t a runner hope to get to the finish line?

Be at peace and maybe read more about the theological virtue of hope (as opposed to the everyday usage of the word).

God bless

In hope, the Church prays for "all men to be saved."94 She longs to be united with Christ, her Bridegroom, in the glory of heaven:
