“We already have hope,” declares the author, in his provocative introduction to this CareNote, written from a Catholic perspective. “Beginning with baptism, hope is infused within us as a gift from God – so what do we do with it?” He then offers informative and inspiring discussions entitled: What do we hope for; Sharing in hope; Challenges to hope; Hope and the Last Judgment. With numerous citations from scripture, from theologians, writers, and Church leaders both past and present, the author enlightens us on the many dimensions of hope and the many ways to nurture all the dimensions of hope in our lives.
