Luis Antonio Tagle’s The Risk of Hope is a guiding light in today’s confusing world, helping us see what it means to be fully human. As one of the most well-known Catholic leaders, Tagle connects the wisdom of the Bible with everyday experiences to show how God speaks to us. He shares stories from his encounters with young people, his conversations with the faithful in Manila, and even a casual interview on a flight. Through these moments, he reminds us that hope is still alive, and that Jesus’ resurrection can shine through even the darkest times. Using storytelling instead of complicated explanations, he helps us understand the meaning of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Tagle challenges the Church to follow Christ’s example of humility and service, caring for the poor and those in need. He calls us to see the presence of the Risen Lord in our daily lives, even in simple and ordinary events. His reflections encourage us to trust in God’s love and to live with faith and compassion. As we celebrate the Jubilee of Hope, this book is a great read, inspiring us to recognise God’s presence in daily life and to share His love with others.
