Benedict XVI: "The one who has hope lives differently; the one who hopes has been granted the gift of a new life."
Spe salvi (English: "Saved in Hope"), referencing the Latin phrase from Romans 8:24, Spe salvi facti sumus ("in hope we were saved"), is the second encyclical letter by Pope Benedict XVI promulgated on November 30, 2007, and is about the theological virtue of hope. Benedict has systematically touched upon the three theological virtues: love in 2005 Deus caritas est ("God is Love"), hope in this encyclical, and faith in 2013 Lumen fidei ("The Light of Faith"), written with Pope Francis.[1]
The encyclical contains over 18,900 words, divided into fifty paragraphs, and organized into an introduction and eight chapters.
