Faith, Hope, and Charity
Faith, Hope, and Charity
by Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa
The journey to God is sustained by the exercise of the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity. But how do we properly understand and live out these virtues in the modern world?
In Faith, Hope, and Charity, Preacher to the Papal Household Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa utilizes a liturgical framework to lead us deeper into the practice of the theological virtues. Developing a series of sermons delivered in the presence of Pope John Paul II in 1992 and Pope Francis in 2022, Cardinal Cantalamessa opens up a spiritual journey to Bethlehem in short daily stretches in the footsteps of the Magi.
Drawing on ancient tradition while facing the existential challenges of the present age, these reflections encourage all of us—modern Magi from the West—to lay down our gifts before the Great King: faith, hope, and charity.

“Our positive aim is to rediscover the beauty of the three theological virtues. Faith, hope, and charity are like ‘three life jackets’ to be thrown to those who struggle among the stormy waves of life.”
