This article concerns the connection between hope and love in the philosophical thought of Karol Wojtyła – John Paul II. The article consists of two main parts. I put forward the thesis that the relationship between hope and love is so close and inextricable that one can consider hope to be the shape of love itself. In the first part I examine the relationship between hope and love in the individual aspect of personal life. Analyzing Wojtyła’s concept of the person as a free subject, I point out that marriage is the fundamental hope of a loving person. In the second part I reflect on the social aspect of the connection between love and hope. I emphasize here the irreplaceable role of the family, as well as of a democratic society based on the irreducible idea of human dignity. In the end, I conclude that the universal union of hope and love is not necessarily related to religious faith.
