Join beloved saints, mystics, and spiritual writers in practicing God’s great gift of hope. Hope is an essential and life-giving topic. Now, in this powerful series, you will discover inspiring models from the Catholic tradition who will guide you toward leading a richer and more fulfilling life. Taught by celebrated priest, theologian, and author Father Philip Bochanski, each lecture is carefully crafted to maximize both your learning and your enjoyment. Through 18 brilliantly delivered lectures, you will learn how to respond to St. Peter's call to ""always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope"" (3:15). By meditating on the Word of God in the Sacred Scripture and the teaching of the Church, you will see that hope is essential in the life of a disciple. Along the way, you will explore the wisdom of heroes of hope: men and women who learned firsthand the importance of trusting in God. By taking in the experiences of such inspirational figures as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, St. Augustine, and St. Gianna Molla, you will discover the power of hope. Hope brings healing in the face of pain, strength in moments of temptation, comfort in the midst of sorrow, and clarity in times of doubt. Practice this most vital virtue today. This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
