The Son of God came into the world, into little Israel, and incarnated himself in a stable in order to save us with an act of unconditional love. What is the evidence for this? Beyond the historical evidence, there is also evidence within our hearts when we ponder the 6 questions Father Robert Spitzer asks in this week’s Wednesday on the World.

In this episode, Fr. Robert Spitzer shows that Christian hope is firmly grounded in God’s unconditional love in three ways: Jesus’ revelation of who the Father is by calling Him Abba. Jesus’ revelation of who the Father is through the story of the prodigal son. The total self gift of Jesus in His Crucifixion to prove that He is unconditional love.

In this episode of Wednesday on the World, Fr. Robert Spitzer focuses on Christian hope. Father explains how Christian hope is grounded in both metaphysical and scientific evidence. Father also shows how Christian hope is both reasonable and responsible.
