II. The Theological Virtues
1817
Hope is the theological virtue by which we desire the kingdom of heaven and
eternal life as our happiness, placing our trust in Christ’s promises and
relying not on our own strength, but on the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit.
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who
promised is faithful.”84 “The Holy Spirit . . . he poured out
upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that we might be justified
by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.”85
