He may have aged but he looks great in spirit and health. We pray that all untrue stories and rumours will stop, and let our dear Emeritus Benedict XVI be in peace of mind. Thank you Vatican for the speedy counter-action on the rumour.
“If you follow the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose a final refuge. You know that the foundation of the world is love, so that even when no human being can or will help you, you may go on, trusting in the One that loves you.”
~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
“To have Christian hope means to know about evil and yet to go to meet the future with confidence. The core of faith rests upon accepting being loved by God, and therefore to believe is to say Yes, not only to him, but to creation, to creatures, above all, to men, to try to see the image of God in each person and thereby to become a lover. That's not easy, but the basic Yes, the conviction that God has created men, that he stands behind them, that they aren't simply negative, gives love a reference point that enables it to ground hope on the basis of faith.”
~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
“The ways of the Lord are not easy, but we were not created for an easy life but for great things, for goodness.”
~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
“Help each other to live and to grow in the Christian faith so as to be valiant witnesses of the Lord. Be united, but not closed. Be humble, but not fearful. Be simple, but not naive. Be thoughtful, but not complicated. Enter into dialogue with others, but be yourselves.”
~ Pope Benedict XVI ~
