"I am incurably hopeful about the future of Africa despite all the difficulties we faced this year." With these words, one of the most influential Catholic bishops in Africa, Archbishop Charles Palmer-Buckle, reviews this passing year (2021) and the challenges and signs of hope in Africa today. He invites Africans and the world to celebrate this Christmas with joy, despite the challenges of the ongoing pandemic. His message of hope is compelling; his personal account of his long battle with Covid is gripping; his testimonies of hope in Africa and the power of faith invite us to reject all the negative characterization of Africa and enter into 2022 with renewed faith in Africa's gift to the world, and a new and better world built on Global solidarity, and on Pope Francis programmatic praxis for human and cosmic flourishing in Fratelli Tutti.
