ASK THE DOCTORS
Popes traditionally give a catechetical teaching on Wednesdays at the Vatican, right outside St. Peter’s Basilica and into the square when the weather is right. Most recently, they have been all about hope. During the first week of October, Pope Leo said this to the gathered faithful: “Brothers and sisters, Christ’s resurrection teaches us that no history is so marked by disappointment or sin that it cannot be visited by hope. No fall is definitive, no night is eternal, no wound is destined to remain open forever. However distant, lost or unworthy we may feel, there is no distance that can extinguish the unfailing power of God’s love.”
