Abstract
How do we ever arrive at loving an enemy? In the life of Thomas More, we witness such a change of heart. His antagonism toward those who threatened church unity is well known, but, from his prison cell, he confesses to a love for all. More’s understanding of hope helps us to learn something about the nature of this transformation. In a frame of mind that suggests the teachings of Aquinas, he despairs of his own merits and, after entrusting himself to God, he finds reason to hope for the hopeless, both for himself and all others, even his enemies.
