pope in space

May 22, 2011

In his Easter Vigil Homily this year Pope Benedict emphasised the cosmic dimension of the resurrection:  “Our profession of faith begins with the words: “We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth”. If we omit the beginning of the Credo, the whole history of salvation becomes too limited and too small”.
Perhaps he intended his words to be a segue to his remarkable conversation last week with the astronauts at the International Space Station?
