The spirituality of the Catholic Letters can be construed as foundational Christian spirituality for it begins with hope in faith and love. It can also be seen as a counter spirituality in its earlier forms for it emerges when Christians struggle to define and defend their own identity in a society dominated by falsehood and false teaching. The spirituality of a living hope in faith and love leads the Christians to look at God who is united with the human persons either through the works of faith, proper human conduct,and love for one another. It is hope that sets the human's perspective for the future and it is love that makes the fulfilment of the union between God and humans a reality and it is faith that makes all things happen.
Saying that the elements of the spirituality of Catholic Letters comprise that of the living hope in faith and above, we mean that the present human lives are rooted in our faith in God who reveals the fullness of everything from the present until the days to come. This is the expression of every human hope for a definitive future that is at work from the past to the present as humans live integrally the full potential of loving one another which is the perfection of the love that comes from God.
By this living spirituality of hope in faith and love, we are showing a paradigmatic shift of understanding spirituality from a dynamic relational process into a full actualization of live lived in hope that is actualized in love and faith in the present and a future that is yet to be fulfilled. This is a spirituality that is rooted in the hope for the future yet is gaining its concretization and actualization in the manner in which Christians live out their faith in the present, and in the ways they respond to the call of transformation into living Godly lives and loving others from the heart. We say that the spirituality of a living hope in faith and love opens for all humanity the way to look at life and the future all together. This gives full meaning to a soul searching for answers to many difficulties brought about by the daily efforts at passing from the present into the future,
All these, living hope in faith and love, the characteristic elements of the spirituality of the Catholic Letters will lead us to an ultimate end, a definitive goal, our end destiny; the presence of God and union with Him.
