23rd Plenary Session of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas, open to the public on the occasion of the Jubilee Year.
Spes non confundit. 18. “Hope, together with faith and charity, makes up the triptych of the “theological virtues” that express the heart of the Christian life (cf. 1 Cor 13:13; 1 Thess 1:3). In their inseparable unity, hope is the virtue that, so to speak, gives inward direction and purpose to the life of believers.”
