He continues to communicate to us his love for God and his love for humanity.Pope Benedict
Rock' music. . . is the expression of elemental passions, and at rock festivals it assumes a cultic character, a form of worship, in fact, in opposition to Christian worship. People are, so to speak, released from themselves by the experience of being part of a crowd and by the emotional shock of rhythm, noise, and special lighting effects. However, in the ecstasy of having all their defenses torn down, the participants sink, as it were, beneath the elemental force of the universe.
Pope Benedict
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
We hope you will have a peaceful time.
Pope Benedict
Let us pray that the Holy Spirit illuminates, inspires and guides the work of the synod and pushes us to charity, agreement and the service of the truth.
Pope Benedict
