Sacred and Profane Love Episode 18: Carrying the Flame
b'
In episode 18 of Sacred and Profane Love, I speak with my friend, Fr. Gregory Maria Pine, O.P., about the virtue of hope in Cormac McCarthy\\u2019s painfully beautiful novel,\\xa0The Road (which earned him the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2007). In our conversation, we talk about why hope requires an open future and a sense of uncertainty, and how hope is a state of character that strikes a middle position between presumption and despair.\\xa0 We also explore the essential connections between hope and love, and how this plays out in the relationship between the man and the boy who must journey down the road together.
