Hope - Spe Salvi

from Casting Nets

Tony and Chris discuss Pope Benedict's second encyclical Spe Salvi (In Hope We are Saved). The Holy Father in this letter called his flock to reflect upon the hope that we have as Christians because of Jesus our Lord. However, this hope must move beyond just a head knowledge or "informative" but it must show up in our actions thus becoming "performative". Therefore, if our hope in Christ is evident in our actions then it will be a light to the world to bring others to Christ. "It is never to late nor is it ever in vain to touch the heart of another" (SS 48).
