More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
The Church needs your faith, your idealism and your generosity, so that she can always be young in the Spirit.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Eucharistic sacrifice of the body and blood of Christ embraces in turn the mystery of our Lord's continuing passion in the members of his mystical body, the church in every age.
Pope Benedict XVI
You must know your faith with the same precision with which a specialist in information technology knows the operating system of a computer.
Pope Benedict XVI
The only really effective apologia for Christianity comes down to two arguments, namely, the saints the Church has produced, and the art which has grown in her womb.
Pope Benedict XVI
The horizon of love is truly boundless: it is the whole world!
Pope Benedict XVI
The Church does not invent sins but recognizes the will of God and has to declare it. Of course, the great thing.. is that upon the Church, which has to declare the will of God in its full magnitude, in its unconditional rigor, so that man should know his true measure, is bestowed as a gift, at the same time, the task of forgiving.
Pope Benedict XVI
Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: 'What are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend? By appeal to what authority can moral dilemmas be resolved?'
Pope Benedict XVI
The Church does not engage in proselytism. Instead, she grows by attraction: just as Christ draws all to himself by the power of his love, culminating in the sacrifice of the Cross, so the Church fulfills her mission.
Pope Benedict XVI
Sometimes we are looked upon as people who speak only of prohibitions. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Pope Benedict XVI
Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times.
Pope Benedict XVI
Every State has the primary duty to protect its own population from grave and sustained violations of human rights, as well as from the consequences of humanitarian crises, whether natural or man-made.
Pope Benedict XVI
But Palm Sunday tells us that ... it is the cross that is the true tree of life.
Pope Benedict XVI
Before it's too late, we need to make courageous choices that will recreate a strong alliance between man and Earth. We need a decisive 'yes' to care for creation and a strong commitment to reverse those trends that risk making the situation of decay irreversible.
Pope Benedict XVI
The story of Mary of Magdalene reminds us all of a fundamental truth...A disciple of Christ is one who, in the experience of human weakness, has had the humility to ask for his help, has been healed by him and has set out following closely after him, becoming a witness of the power of his merciful love that is stronger than sin and death.
Pope Benedict XVI
The proclamation of the Gospel remains the primary service that the Church owes to humanity, to offer the salvation of Christ to the man of our time, who is in many ways humiliated and oppressed, and to orientate in a Christian way cultural, social, and ethical transformations that are unfolding in the world.
Pope Benedict XVI
Nourishment is a factor which touches on the fundamental right to life.
Pope Benedict XVI
In this regard, I reiterate that the prohibition against torture cannot be contravened under any circumstances.
Pope Benedict XVI
You have suffered grievously and I am truly sorry. I know that nothing can undo the wrong you have endured. Your trust has been betrayed and your dignity has been violated.
Pope Benedict XVI
We can learn from him that suffering and the gift of himself is an essential gift we need in our time.
Pope Benedict XVI
God's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.
Pope Benedict XVI
