Redemption is
offered to us in the sense that we have been given hope, trustworthy hope, by
virtue of which we can face our present: the present, even if it is arduous,
can be lived and accepted if it leads toward a goal, if we can be sure of this
goal, and if this goal is great enough to justify the effort of the journey.
Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI
