More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Men and women were created for something great, for infinity. Nothing else will ever be enough.
Pope Benedict XVI
How much filth there is in the church, even among those who, in the priesthood, should belong entirely to Him. How much pride, how much self-sufficiency.
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
The ecological crisis shows the urgency of a solidarity which embraces time and space... A greater sense of intergenerational solidarity is urgently needed. Future generations cannot be saddled with the cost of our use of common environmental resources.
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
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
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
Listen to the voice of the earth.

Pope Benedict XVI
The destruction of the environment, its improper or selfish use, and the violent hoarding of the Earth's resources cause grievances, conflicts and wars, precisely because they are the consequences of an inhumane concept of development.
Pope Benedict XVI
You must know your faith with the same precision with which a specialist in information technology knows the operating system of a computer.
Pope Benedict XVI
To desire the common good and strive towards it is a requirement of justice and charity.
Pope Benedict XVI
Dear young people, the Church depends on you! She needs your lively faith, your creative charity and the energy of your hope. Your presence renews, rejuvenates and gives new energy to the Church.
Pope Benedict XVI
Let us put our hands today again at (God's) disposition and pray that he takes our hands to guide us. Let his hand take ours so we won't sink, but will serve life which is stronger than death, and love which is stronger than hatred.
Pope Benedict XVI
In a world wounded by conflicts, where violence is justified in God's name, it's important to repeat that religion can never become a vehicle of hatred, it can never be used in God's name to justify violence.
Pope Benedict XVI
Do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer in a market of undifferentiated possibilities, where choice itself becomes the good, novelty usurps beauty, and subjective experience displaces truth.
Pope Benedict XVI
We do not seek a Christ whom we have invented, for only in the real communion of the Church do we encounter the real Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI
Purity of heart is what enables us to see.
Pope Benedict XVI
Nature expresses a design of love and truth.
Pope Benedict XVI
