Pope Benedict XVI-His Thoughts |
On
Mary
Thoughts on the Place of Marian Doctrine and
Piety in Faith and Theology as a whole
"The mission arises from the heart: When one
pauses to pray before a crucifix, looking at
that pierced side, one cannot but feel within
oneself the joy of knowing that one is loved and
the desire to love and to make oneself an
instrument of mercy and reconciliation"
"In
the Gospel, we hear of a poor widow who gave to
the Lord all she had, without keeping anything
for herself. Her generosity is an inspiration to
all of us to give ourselves totally to Christ."
