Our Hope is in The Lord

  
Welcome to Spes in Domino (Hope in the Lord). This site is dedicated to sharing my experience of the Faith as a Catholic layman, husband, and father. I explore a faithful Catholic perspective on events in the Church and in the World, and along the way showcase images and music from the vast and ancient treasury of Christian art.

Beatus Cuius Spes in Domino Est (Psalm 146) - "Blessed is he whose Hope is in The Lord"


Our hope is not in politics, or programs, or policies, or in people . . . our hope is in The Lord:
Spes in Domino est.


To sum up all in one word — what the soul is in the body, Christians are in the world. The soul is dispersed through all the members of the body, and Christians are scattered through all the cities of the world. The soul dwells in the body, yet is not of the body; and Christians dwell in the world, yet are not of the world. (From The Letter to Diognetus)
