More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
[Evangelization] is not something optional, but the very vocation of the People of God, a duty that corresponds to it by the command of the Lord Jesus Christ himself
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
In Jesus Christ, God took on a human face and became our friend and brother.
Pope Benedict XVI
Dancing is not a form of expression for the Christian liturgy.
Pope Benedict XVI
The diligent reading of Sacred Scripture accompanied by prayer brings about that intimate dialogue in which the person reading hears God who is speaking, and in praying, responds to him with trusting openness of heart. If it is effectively promoted, this practice will bring to the Church-I am convinced of it-a new spiritual springtime.
Pope Benedict XVI
Deeply saddened by the news of the terrorist attacks in central London, the Holy Father offers his fervent prayers for the victims and for all those who mourn.
Pope Benedict XVI
Our Christian conviction is that Christ is also the messiah of Israel. Certainly it is in the hands of God how and when the unification of Jews and Christians into the people of God will take place.
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
If we allow the love of Christ to change our heart, then we can change the world. This is the secret of authentic happiness.
Pope Benedict XVI
For each one of you, as for the apostles, the encounter with the divine Teacher who calls you friends may be the beginning of an extraordinary venture: that of becoming apostles among your contemporaries to lead them to live their own experience of friendship with God, made Man, with God who has made himself my friend.
Pope Benedict XVI
Listen to the voice of the earth.
Pope Benedict XVI
To me, it really seems visible today that ethics is not something exterior to the economy, which, as technical matter, could function on its own rather, ethics is an interior principle of the economy itself, which cannot function if it does not take account of the human values of solidarity and reciprocal responsibility.
Pope Benedict XVI
Discovering the beauty and joy of faith is a path that every new generation must take on its own.
Pope Benedict XVI
Society today is being fragmented by a way of thinking that is inherently short-sighted because it disregards the full horizon of truth - the truth about God and about us. By its nature, relativism fails to see the whole picture. It ignores the very principles that enable us to live and flourish in unity, order and harmony.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Jesus of the Gospels is surely not convenient for us.
Pope Benedict XVI
Love alone makes us happy, because we live in relation, and we live to love and to be loved.
Pope Benedict XVI
Purity of heart is what enables us to see.
Pope Benedict XVI
The closer a person is to God, the closer he is to people.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Church's mission is not political in nature. Her task is to open the world to the religious sense by proclaiming Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI
Today Christmas has become a commercial celebration, whose bright lights hide the mystery of God’s humility, which in turn calls us to humility and simplicity. Let us ask the Lord to help us see through the superficial glitter of this season, and to discover behind it the child in the stable in Bethlehem, so as to find true joy and true light.
Pope Benedict XVI
