“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.”
“”I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
“Simplicity is truth — and truth is simple.”
Quote by Pope Benedict XVI from his new book “Light of the World.”
More: “The Church becomes visible for people in many ways, in charitable activity or in missionary projects, but the place where the Church is experienced most of all as Church is in the liturgy. And that is also as it should be. At the end of the day, the point of the Church is to turn us toward God and to enable God to enter into the world.”

God restores us
Only God can give freedom from our restless worry
Jesus said “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
(Matthew 6.31-34)
“Do not let your heart be troubled, trust God.” John 14:1
