Msgr. Pope on the Role of Language in Our Lives

“Language is one our greatest gifts. Our capacity to symbolize reality by sounds and words is nothing short of astonishing. The fact that you are able to decode these letters, words and sentences, and have an echo in your mind of what I am thinking, is a miraculous gift. It is a gift that we often take for granted.”

Monsignor Charles Pope offers a reflection on the words we use and how they are a gift and how they have limitations. To read Msgr. Pope’s commentary, please visit:
