Pope Benedict XVI Quotes

If I Have No Contact Whatsoever With God In My Life, Then I Cannot See In The Other Anything More Than The Other, And I Am Incapable Of Seeing In Him The Image Of God. But If In My Life I Fail Completely To Heed Others, Solely Out Of A Desire To Be "devout" And To Perform My "religious Duties", Then My Relationship With God Will Also Grow Arid. It Becomes Merely "proper", But Loveless. Only My Readiness To Encounter My Neighbour And To Show Him Love Makes Me Sensitive To God As Well. Only If I Serve My Neighbour Can My Eyes Be Opened To What God Does For Me And How Much He Loves Me.
