THE CHRISTIAN HOPE. by Dr Canals, Salvador (by his book ¡meditating ascetic") Among the virtues that leave the deepest imprint on human mind that more evident influence on the life and the act of men, is the Christian virtue, theological, the hope. The same man, in fact, according to live under the breath of hope or s'ajegui under the weight of despair, it presents as truth-and is like a giant or a pygmy. In our living and our men are dealing with every day, not without surprise witnesses or pena- of these amazing transformations; So perhaps more than any other in our century suffers from the lack of this virtue. How many philosophies, many attitudes, many moods of the men of our time are rooted in souls without hope, that struggle between anguish and fear, an anxiety that can not be separated, a fear that nothing can get away! The truth is that the man can not live without hope. The hope is the call of the Creator beginning and end of our lives, which no human being can escape; is the voice of the Redeemer who ardently desires the salvation of all men, "he wants all men to be saved": no one can, without losing the peace of the soul, refusing to listen; is a deep longing for God that He has left us a marveling- gift like after having made for each one of us, those ineffable "works of his hands", in the language of theologians, Creation is called, Elevation, and Redemption. This deep longing of the human heart, few have been able to express it through the Christian centuries with that persuasive tone acquired knowledge with those suffering shocked accents experience with the St. Augustine expressed.
