Meaning of Spes

Spes is a Latin word for hope. Spes is considered a virtue because it is an active, animating force that directs a person toward a future good. While in ancient Rome, Spes was worshipped as a goddess, her status as a virtue is most fully developed in Christian theology, where it is one of the three "theological virtues" alongside Faith and Charity (Love). Spes is a supernatural gift. Unlike the cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance), which can be developed through human effort, hope is considered a divine gift "infused" by God. It is not merely wishful thinking, but a profound and certain expectation of a promised good.
