Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the topic of the signs of the times and the mission of the Church in Croatia. Since the expression itself, and also the meaning of the signs of the times, are fundamentally connected with Pope John XXIII and the Second Vatican Council, the author in the first two parts gives historical-ecclesiastical-theological contours that help to understand the meaning of the signs of the times, as well as help to find and interpret the modern signs of the times. Consequently, the work is divided into three parts. The first part, under the title Pope John XXIII – the Pope optimist, points to the key role that Pope John XXIII had in starting the Second Vatican Council and especially in searching for the renewal and modernization of the Church, which is also connected with the signs of the times.
