Spe salvi pondering

Many are anxiously awaiting the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI's second Encyclical letter Spe salvi (Saved by hope)to be presented Friday at 11:30 a.m. Rome time. I, too, am excitedly wondering about this, and am hoping - perhaps against hope - that the English tranlsation will be released at the time of presentation.

Since his election to the See of Peter, His Holiness has frequently spoken about hope in his homilies, Wednesday audiences and Angelus addresses. I've collected a few of these words at Beggar for Love, a sort of archive of some of the words of the current Pontiff. You might want to take a look.

I will try later today or tomorrow to take a look through some of then-Cardinal Ratzinger's writings looking for what he says about hope in them.
