Ring the bells to herald the arrival of Benedict XVI at 4:00 pm EST tomorrow. He is coming to our land, may our Lady intercede for him!
If you don't have any bells, SING Alleluia!
1. "SPE SALVI facti sumus"-in hope we were saved, says Saint Paul to the Romans, and likewise to us (Rom 8:24).
At the beginning of this series of reflections, we are getting ready to welcome Pope Benedict XVI to the United States. He brings to us a message of hope, the hope that is to be found in Christ alone. It is not just hope but hope in Christ who gave everything for us. His heart was not discouraged by our sins, failings and weaknesses. Neither should ours. Each one of us I can look at all the Lord Jesus has done for us and remember that we are valuable in the eyes of God, so valuable that he gave his only son, so whoever would believe in him would have eternal life. It is in this hope that we are saved!
