Faith-Based Hope and Eternal Life
Manage episode 288475762 series 2803914
My friend Kale Zelden and I continue our discussion of Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical letter on hope (Spe Salvi) -- specifically, we read and discuss paragraphs 4 through 12, covering the concept of faith-based hope in the New Testament and the early Church, and the question about what eternal life is.

Dante's depiction of Judas Iscariot in The Inferno
"I will never lose myself
for that which the senses
can take in here,
nor for all the mind can hold,
no matter how lofty,
nor for grace or beauty,
but only for I-don’t-know-what
which is so gladly found."
Saint John of the Cross, A Gloss (with spiritual meaning)
