More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
We must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people.
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
The blessing hands of Christ are like a roof that protects us. But at the same time, they are a gesture of opening up, tearing the world open so that heaven my enter in, may become present within it.
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
We will never forget that blessing. It was the most pained and moving blessing, which left us with the extreme testimony of his will to complete his ministry until the end.
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
During the season of Lent which begins today, we renew our commitment to the path of conversion, making more room for God in our lives.
Pope Benedict XVI
A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.
Pope Benedict XVI
To desire the common good and strive towards it is a requirement of justice and charity.
Pope Benedict XVI
The human person finds his perfection in seeking and loving what is true and good.
Pope Benedict XVI
Anyone who has discovered Christ must lead others to him. A great joy cannot be kept to oneself. It has to be passed on.
Pope Benedict XVI
Faith was intended precisely for the simple, but the quest for certainty and simplicity becomes dangerous when it leads to fanaticism and narrow-mindedness. When reason as such becomes suspect, then faith itself becomes falsified.
Pope Benedict XVI
There is no other possibility for possessing certitude with regard to one's life apart from self-abandonmen t, in a continuous crescendo, into the hands of a love that seems to grow constantly because it has its origin in God.
Pope Benedict XVI
It is imperative that the entire Christian community in the United States come to realize the grave threats to the Church's public moral witness presented by a militant atheism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres. The seriousness of these threats needs to be clearly appreciated at every level of ecclesial life.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.
Pope Benedict XVI
We cannot live, we cannot look at the truth about ourselves without letting ourselves be looked at and generated by Christ in daily Eucharistic Adoration.
Pope Benedict XVI
Our first experience of God is so important, we either experience Him as the police guard that wants to punish or as Creative Love that awaits.
Pope Benedict XVI
We are no longer able to hear God - There are too many frequencies filling our ears.
Pope Benedict XVI
Let us seek in particular to communicate the deepest joy, that of knowing God in Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI
Consecrated life means going to the very root of the love of Jesus Christ with an undivided heart and putting nothing ahead of this love.
Pope Benedict XVI
