    Send a text 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. Show notes/resources: The Still Point in the Turning World - T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets, "Burnt Norton" The "already/not yet" tension of Christian liturgy and life: "The Sanctification of Time and the Liturgy of the Hours," Fr. Hildebrand Garceau, O.Praem.
