Catechesis 7. To hope is not to know. Nicola Cusano

Summary of Catechesis:

As pilgrims of hope, we must view our troubled times in the light of the resurrection. Nicholas of Cusa, a cardinal from the fifteenth century, also lived during a turbulent era that involved serious spiritual divisions.  Despite the tensions, Nicholas hoped for what he could not see and trusted that God could find unity. We too can learn from Nicholas of Cusa. When we do not know the answers let us remember the Risen One and ask him to lead us, step by step, on the journey of hope.

Greeting:

I extend a warm welcome this morning to all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors taking part in today’s Audience, especially those coming from England and the United States of America.  A special greeting to those taking part in the International Federation of Catholic Universities. In praying that you may experience an increase in the virtue of hope during this Jubilee Year, I invoke upon all of you, and upon all your families, the joy and the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you all!
