  • On Christian Hope (Part III of III)

    This last third of the twentieth century has been for me a long period of time in which I have been wounded by multitudes of events; many were very painful and have made a deep impact on my life....
  • On Christian Hope (Part II of III)

    To today’s Christians – and I am referring here particularly to Catholics, for we are the ones who make up the Only True Church – it has been granted to live in circumstances in which our resort to hope is a matter of our very survival. There are pl...
  • On Christian Hope (Part I)

    Trust and assurance of Victory, as the culmination of the earthly existence of the disciple of Christ, is an issue of such vital importance as to make it the only really transcendental one. Such trust is more necessary today than ever before for those who...
