To answer the question, “Why does Cardinal Basil Hume’s spirituality still speak to people today?”, I remember something he once told the priests of the Diocese of Westminster: “I think there is a great need to find a way of speaking about God which touches the lives and hearts of our people, because there is a search going on. We have so many riches in our tradition from our collective experience; we have simply got to find a way to communicate.”
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Cardinal Basil Hume (1923-1999), Benedictine monk, abbot, pastor and preacher.
