More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Look at the face of the other... discover that he has a soul, a history and a life, that he is a person and that God loves this person.
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
Jesus, the Word incarnate, is always the center of our announcement, the point of reference for our evangelizing mission and for its methodology, because He is the human face of God, who wishes to meet all men and women so as to bring them into communion with Him, in His love.
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.
Pope Benedict XVI
Over the pope as expression of the binding claim of ecclesiastical authority, there stands one's own conscience which must be obeyed before all else, even if necessary against the requirement of ecclesiastical authority.
Pope Benedict XVI
An authentically eucharistic Church is a missionary Church... Truly, nothing is more beautiful than to know Christ and to make him known to others.
Pope Benedict XVI
I leave from where the apostle arrived.
Pope Benedict XVI
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
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
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
Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
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
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
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
Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.
Pope Benedict XVI
The closer a person is to God, the closer he is to people.
Pope Benedict XVI
I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes.
Pope Benedict XVI
In Jesus Christ, God took on a human face and became our friend and brother.
Pope Benedict XVI
Without the Eucharist, the Church simply does not exist.
Pope Benedict XVI
It is not by sidestepping or fleeing from suffering that we are healed, but rather by our capacity for accepting it, maturing through it and finding meaning through union with Christ, who suffered with infinite love.
Pope Benedict XVI
