We scan the heavens for a sign of meaning. We need to know that we are not teetering on the edge of a lifeless abyss. The cosmos appears dark, unable to offer any hope. But the universe is embraced by the cross of Christ, the mysterious sign of the Divine, the infallible symbol of how much the divine mystery enlightens our lives with its unshakable love. These meditations offer comfort and hope to world-weary pilgrims.
