More quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
That the Jews are connected with God in a special way and that God does not allow that bond to fail is entirely obvious. We wait for the instant in which Israel will say yes to Christ, but we know that it has a special mission in history now ... which is significant for the world.
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
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
Forgiveness does not replace justice.
Pope Benedict XVI
Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene is a classic example of science fiction.
Pope Benedict XVI
Saint Paul asks his disciple Timothy to aim at faith (2 Tim 2:22) with the same constancy as when he was a boy (cf. 2 Tim 3:15). This invitation is directed to each of us, that none of us grow lazy in the faith. It is the lifelong companion that makes it possible to perceive, ever anew, the marvels that God works for us.
Pope Benedict XVI
To me, it really seems visible today that ethics is not something exterior to the economy, which, as technical matter, could function on its own rather, ethics is an interior principle of the economy itself, which cannot function if it does not take account of the human values of solidarity and reciprocal responsibility.
Pope Benedict XVI
With the Eucharist, therefore, heaven comes down to earth, the tomorrow of God descends into the present and it is as if time remains embraced by divine eternity.
Pope Benedict XVI
Friends, do not be afraid of silence or stillness. Listen to God. Adore Him in the Eucharist.
Pope Benedict XVI
I urge you to continue your fraternal cooperation with one another in the spirit of the community of Christ's disciples, united in your love for him and in the Gospel that you proclaim.
Pope Benedict XVI
In the world in which we live, it is almost a necessity to be able to regain one's strength of body and spirit, especially for those who live in the city, where the conditions of life, often feverish, leave little room for silence, reflection and relaxed contact with nature.
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 ask the Blessed Virgin for the gift of conversion for all Christians, so that they may announce and give a faithful and coherent witness to the perennial evangelical message, which indicates to humanity the path to an authentic peace.
Pope Benedict XVI
The horizon of love is truly boundless: it is the whole world!
Pope Benedict XVI
The relationship between individuals or communities and the environment ultimately stems from their relationship with God. When ‘man turns his back on the Creator’s plan, he provokes a disorder which has inevitable repercussions on the rest of the created order.
Pope Benedict XVI
The Jesus who makes everything okay for everyone is a phantom, a dream, not a real figure.
Pope Benedict XVI
Being a Christian means having love. That is unbelievably difficult and, at the same time, incredibly simple.
Pope Benedict XVI
I am simply a pilgrim beginning the last leg of his pilgrimage on this earth.
Pope Benedict XVI
Let us seek in particular to communicate the deepest joy, that of knowing God in Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI
Do not believe that living together before marriage guarantees the future. By burning certain stages, you risk burning love itself. Time needs to be respected gradually, just like the expressions of love.
