Images
of Hope
Meditations on Major Feasts
Author: Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
“All
sacred images are, without exception, in a certain sense images of the Resurrection,
history read in the light of the Resurrection, and for that very reason they
are images of hope, giving us the assurance of the world to come, of the final
coming of Christ.”
—Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger From The Spirit of the Liturgy
In Images of Hope: Meditations on Major Feasts, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) masterfully weaves together Scripture, history, literature and theology as he reflects on major feasts of the liturgical calendar. In each chapter, he examines works of sacred art that illustrate the hope we celebrate in our most important Christian holy days.
What
do the humble ox and ass at the manger of the Christ Child tell us about Christmas?
In an icon of Christ's Ascension, what do the Savior's hands held in blessing
promise us? What is the meaning of the sword held by the great statue of Saint
Paul before the Roman church that bears his name?
These and many other questions are explored with depth and sensitivity in this
collection of meditations by the man who became Pope Benedict XVI. Several beautiful
colored images of the relevant paintings, mosaics and sculptures accompany the
rich and detailed text.
