Additional quotes by Benedict XVI

From a theological point of view, Easter is the center of the Church year; but Christmas is the most profoundly human feast of faith, because it allows us to feel most deeply the humanity of God. The crib has a unique power to show us what it means to say that God wished to be “Immanuel” — a “God with us”, a God whom we may address in intimate language, because he encounters us as a child. This makes Christmas a feast that invites us in a special way to meditation, to an internal act of looking at the Word.

Como «Evangelio pneumático», el Evangelio de Juan no sólo proporciona una especie de transcripción taquigráfica de las palabras y del camino de Jesús, sino que, en virtud de la comprensión que se obtiene en el recordar, nos acompaña más allá del aspecto exterior hasta la profundidad de la palabra y de los acontecimientos, esa profundidad que viene de Dios y nos conduce a Él. El Evangelio es, como tal, «recuerdo», y eso significa: se atiene a la realidad que ha sucedido y no es una composición épica sobre Jesús, una alteración de los sucesos históricos. Más bien nos muestra verdaderamente a Jesús, tal como era y, precisamente de este modo, nos muestra a Aquel que no sólo era, sino que es; Aquel que en todos los tiempos puede decir en presente: «Yo soy». «Os aseguro que antes de que Abraham naciera, Yo soy» (Jn 8, 58). Este Evangelio nos muestra al verdadero Jesús, y lo podemos utilizar tranquilamente como fuente sobre Jesús.

A tolerance that no longer distinguishes between good and evil would become chaotic and self-destructive, just as a freedom that did not respect the freedom of others or find the common measure of our respective liberties would become anarchy and destroy authority.
