This theological essay seeks to define and redefine the Christian meaning of hope in the particular context of the present crisis. In recent decades, hope has been at the heart of Christian theology, and we have given it a special touch by highlighting the mystical and prophetic aspect, beyond the dogmatic aspect, of the nature and object of this hope. The world today needs hope, Jesus Christ is this hope, eschatological of course, but rediscovered in a contemplative life.
