The Weight of Glory

Prayer and suffering as settings for learning and practicing hope

February 25, 2026

In this podcast episode, my friend Kale and I discuss paragraphs 32 through 38 of Pope Benedict XVI’s encyclical letter on hope. This section of the letter examines the ways in which prayer and suffering can serve as “schools of hope.”
