More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
But Palm Sunday tells us that ... it is the cross that is the true tree of life.
Pope Benedict XVI
It is important always to remember that virtual contact cannot and must not take the place of direct human contact with people at every level of our lives.
Pope Benedict XVI
How can it be that the most wonderous and sacred human space - the womb - has become a place of unutterable violence?
Pope Benedict XVI
There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him.
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
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
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
The Cardinals have elected me, a simple and humble labourer in the vineyard of the Lord. The fact that the Lord knows how to work and to act even with inadequate instruments comforts me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers.
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 closer a person is to God, the closer he is to people.
Pope Benedict XVI
Do you want to know yourself better? Then discover silence.
Pope Benedict XVI
We can fall, but in the end we fall into God's hands, and God's hands are good hands.
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
Selfishness and fear are at the root of (pro-abortion) legislation...We in the Church have a great struggle to defend life...life is a gift not a threat.
Pope Benedict XVI
Go forth! Carry the good tidings to the poor, bind the wounds of the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom to slaves, open the doors of prisons to those within, promulgate the year of the Lord's mercy... Bring into the world the hope of God, which is Christ the Lord Who rose from the dead and lives and reigns forever.
Pope Benedict XVI
In Latin America in general, it's very important that Christianity not be simply a thing of reason, but also of the heart.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Faith does not mean an alienation from any culture for any people because all cultures await Christ and are not destroyed by the Lord. In fact, they reach their maturity.
Pope Benedict XVI
Almsgiving, according to the Gospel, is not mere philanthropy rather it is a concrete expression of charity, a theological virtue that demands interior conversion to love of God and neighbor, in imitation of Jesus Christ, who, dying on the cross, gave his entire self for us.
Pope Benedict XVI
Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene is a classic example of science fiction.
Pope Benedict XVI
The world promises you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.
Pope Benedict XVI
