DOSSIER

  1. The Hope that does not disappoint
    FRANCESCO BRANCATO
    Christian hope has a name and a face. In fact, it cannot be declined in the plural, but only in the singular: Christ, our hope, in whom and for whom every other reality assumes its proper depth and its authentic value.
  2. It all starts with the look
    ALESSANDRA AUGELLI
    The first way to educate yourself in hope, to look and go beyond is knowing how to stay in reality. Staying in the situation and moving beyond it are intimate relatives of hope, not antithetical to each other, but strongly intertwined.
  3. Rooted in the skies
    ELIANA MARINONI
    It is a question of having known love, of having discovered oneself loved, with everything, at least once, because only the light that descends continuously from the sky supplies a tree with the energy that makes its mighty roots penetrate deeply into the ground. Verily the tree is rooted in heaven.
  4. The relationship that heals
    MARIA ELENA BELLINI – SIMONE MASILLA
    A loving presence is the first cure alongside those who suffer, to live not waiting for death, but “a time to be filled with life”, finding meaning in the experience one is going through and perhaps in life itself. A presence that allows us to open up to hope.

Hope, antidote to despair
EMANUELA VINAI
The need for hope is inherent in human nature, it is an inextinguishable necessity that helps give meaning to life. But what to hope for when all seems lost? It is in the dark that “the old blind woman” takes us by the hand to guide us: faith.

ON MY WAY
