Abstract

The virtue of hope in the teaching of Pious José María Escrivá de Balaguer is not laid down departing from merely abstract considerations but from the experience, lived by Pious Escrivá, of virtue as the h i t of grace. In this context, hope appears vividly in his teachings as a result of God's calling: "come to your father's home" which contributes to every man's search for plenitude.

Without excluding effort and perseverance, buy firmly supported by divine filiation and in the certitude of God's creative action, every person can, through the virtue of hope, answer optimistically and happily to the universal calling of sanctity.
