Memory Awakens Hope
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
“Advent is concerned with that very
connection
between memory and hope which is so necessary to
man. Advent’s
intention is to awaken the most
profound and emotional memory within us,
namely,
the memory of the God who became a child. This is a
healing memory; it
brings hope. The purpose of the
Church’s year is continually to rehearse her
great
history of memories, to awaken the heart’s memory
so that it can discern
the star of hope.”
(Seek
That Which is Above, 1986)
