Whether there is certainty in the hope of a wayfarer?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that there is no certainty in the hope of a wayfarer. For hope resides in the will. But certainty pertains not to the will but to the intellect. Therefore there is no certainty in hope.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, hope is based on grace and merits, as stated above (Question [17], Article [1]). Now it is impossible in this life to know for certain that we are in a state of grace, as stated above (FS, Question [112], Article [5]). Therefore there is no certainty in the hope of a wayfarer.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, there can be no certainty about that which may fail. Now many a hopeful wayfarer fails to obtain happiness. Therefore wayfarer's hope has no certainty.
