Summary/Abstract: The process of secularization, which marks its impact on today’s religion and culture, exerts its influence on Christian hope. For this reason in a new form appear two key sins against hope, despair and brash confidence. Because of the sins the man gets lost in his freedom and the door towards future gets closed as well. As in the days of the pre-Christian, the world without hope becomes sad and cold spiritually. In the existing situation arises the question how I do renew my belief in value of hope and how to show it in face of difficulties disturbing its moments of being experienced. The article emphasizes the fact that a martyr is a model of hope for mankind and reminds of three things important in proclamation of hope: the near eternity, positive dimension of creation and the prospect of the cross. And the spiritual culmination of hope is prayer.
