More quotes by 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
A thirst for the infinite is indelibly present in human beings. Man was created to have a relationship with God we need him.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Church is not a political power, nor a political party, but rather a moral reality, a moral force.
Pope Benedict XVI
If Jesus has become your hope, communicate this to others with your joy and your spiritual, apostolic and social engagement. Let Christ dwell within you, and having placed all your faith and trust in Him, spread this hope around you. Make choices that demonstrate your faith.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Catechism was not written to please you. It will not make life easy for you, because it demands of you a new life.
Pope Benedict XVI
It is the beautiful task of Advent to awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus to open doors of hope.
Pope Benedict XVI
While conscious of the challenges you face, I encourage you to follow faithfully in the footsteps of your founders, and to stir into flame the charisms and apostolic zeal which you have inherited from them, confident that Christ will continue to work with you and to confirm your preaching with signs of his presence and power.

Pope Benedict XVI
I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes.
Pope Benedict XVI
The promotion of human rights remains the most effective strategy for eliminating inequalities between countries and social groups, and for increasing security.
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
Every human being is loved by God the Father. No one need feel forgotten, for every name is written in the Lord's loving heart.
Pope Benedict XVI
Food security is an authentically human requirement. Guaranteeing it for present and future generations also means safeguarding ourselves against the uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources. Indeed, the process of consumption and waste seems to overlook any concern for ... biodiversity, which is so important for agriculture.
Pope Benedict XVI
The human person finds his perfection in seeking and loving what is true and good.
Pope Benedict XVI
We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God.
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
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
Men and women cannot rest content with a superficial and unquestioning exchange of skeptical opinions and experiences of life - all of us are in search of truth and we share this profound yearning today more than ever.
