The Significance of Hope for Building a Communion of Love in the Context of the Social Teaching of Benedict XVI

The article points out that each Christian might be given to the world as a symbol of hope. This attempt is not going to be successfully carried out without the essential source of divine and humanity - the eternal Word. Focusing on the social teaching of Benedict XVI, we may claim that the virtue of hope connected with love and faith provides unique and inspiring horizons, the intimate resource of which is the divine promise already fulfilled in Christ. The Christian lofty vocation radiates goodness and cordiality and helps us understand God's grace. In this sense, we are able to spread peace, joy and mercy; knowing that, we discharge our responsibility to the contemporary world. Our hope cannot be seen outside the current history, for we trust in God who is present in the midst of human lives and guides them to their fulfilment.
