Fyodor Dostoevsky: “to live without hope is to cease to live”.
A psychological view of hope by Anthony Scioli and Henry Biller: there are three main types of hope — attachment hope, transcendence hope, and mastery hope.
The Christian vision of hope provides deeper and more satisfying solutions to our human longing for hope.
The gift of Christian hope involves:
1. Reconciliation to God and to others [Attachment]
2. Resurrection of Jesus and the defeat of death [Transcendence]
3. Resilience even when life is out of control [Mastery]
Would you receive the gift of hope?
