On his eightieth birthday, Fr. Paul takes a step back from his regular weekly address to deliver a special farewell message to his students over the years—and all those with ears to hear. The biblical story is a message of entrapment, “as though there is no hope, and yet it is presented to you as the words of hope.”
“In hope, he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ‘So shall your offspring be.’” (Romans 4:18)
