Padre Rafael Solano writes about hope and despair in the clergy.

Padre Rafael Solano of the Archdiocese of Londrina wrote a moral reflection on suicide and despair within the clergy. While preparing a course on suicide, Solano referenced the work of Cardinal Walter Kasper to discuss how hope serves as a source of survival and the ability to endure.

Solano noted that hope is not based on trusting in a concept, but rather on a relationship with Jesus. The reflection explores the connection between the virtue of hope and the struggle against self-destruction among priests.
