The Theology of Hope. Reflections on Life and Death
The Theology of Hope. Reflections on Life and Death

Summary/Abstract: I tried to prove it in this paper, through the examples of Romanian saints, theimnology and worship of the Church that true life in Christ and fulfillment (here and ineternity) or, as we call it, holiness, must be available to everyone. The deeds of the saintsand their lives go beyond any local determination and they are useful to us, who mustimitate them, constituting themselves as true role models. I will focus on the imnology ofcult books, on the Lives of the Saints and on the contributions of Romanian and foreigntheologians. It hurts me that for most Christians today, the lives of the saints are afortuitous and useless reading. Modern man, attached to the transient aspects of thisworld, no longer sees the saints as examples or ideals to be attained, but replaces themwith the „heroesˮ of our days. So, I tried to show that our life can be fulfilled through thelife of Christ and that what we live through the worship and ethos of the Church is real,healing, and purposeful or fulfilling to man.
