Abstract

The article aims to show how experiencing the Holy Year 2025 can deepen the understanding of Christianity, how paths of hope can lead Catholics through the complex map of the modern world, which has many beautiful places, but also many traps. The author presents what can be said about hope—as a divine virtue—based on the teachings of the Church and theological reflection, and then refers to the catechetically significant issue of the paths of hope, which three popes have included in documents emblematic of this theme: John Paul II in his exhortation Ecclesia in Europa, Benedict XVI in his encyclical Spe salvi, and Francis in his bull Spes non confundit.
