This book was also written during imprisonment under house arrest in Hoa Ma Street (Hanoi) and only later published for the first time in 1997 by Edizione San Paolo.The Cardinal explains: “In 1987, in isolation in Hoa Ma, I had wanted to write a book that would comprise my meditations and reflections for each day, entitled Prayers of Hope. Every year, I received hundreds of postcards from children, with words that touched my heart profoundly; thus, in this way, I experienced the grace of ‘ecclesial communion’. For this reason, I want to share my personal choice of Jesus. With the notes I collected in prison, I will be able to write meditations, reflections, prayers for each day of the year; when I find some time, I will”.
