Faith And Theology Benedict Xvi Spe Salvi In some way we want life itself, true life, untouched even by death; yet at the same time we do not know the thing towards which we feel driven. we cannot stop reaching out for it, and yet we know that all we can experience or accomplish is not what we yearn for.

Spe Salvi New Encyclical From Benedict Xvi Opus Dei The holy father's second encyclical is about christian hope. the title, "spe salvi," comes from st. paul’s letter to the romans: "in hope we were saved.". Life is like a voyage on the sea of history, often dark and stormy, a voyage in which we watch for the stars that indicate the route. the true stars of our life are the people who have lived good lives. We ought to find a way to say thank you to benedict xvi for the great challenge he has set before us, i.e., to be people of hope. we could express our thanks to him by becoming familiar with the content of the encyclical spe salvi, by praying the text, and by remembering the pope in our prayers. Christ himself is the way and the truth, and therefore the life everyone is seeking. he also shows us the way beyond death; only one who can do this is the true teacher of life. On the sarchophagus of the early christians christ is represented by the figure of a true philosopher. it is he who leads us on the right path of life towards the fullness of life, beyond death. Whoever is moved by love begins to perceive what “life” really is. he begins to perceive the meaning of the word of hope that we encountered in the baptismal rite: from faith i await “eternal life”—the true life which, whole and unthreatened, in all its fullness, is simply life.
