Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Quotes edit
-
“From the moment of his birth, he belongs outside the realm of what is important and powerful in worldly terms. Yet it is this unimportant and powerless child that proves to be the truly powerful one, the one on whom ultimately everything depends. So one aspect of becoming a Christian is having to leave behind what everyone else thinks and wants, the prevailing standards, in order to enter the light of the truth of our being, and aided by that light to find the right path”
Pope Benedict XVI -
“Is the mission, as lived by Jesus, the answer to the promise, or is it not? Certainly it does not match the immediate expectations of Messianic salvation nurtured by men who felt oppressed not so much by their sins as by their sufferings, their lack of freedom, the wretched conditions of their existence.”
Pope Benedict XVI -
“Man is a relational being. And if his first, fundamental relationship is disturbed – his relationship with God – then nothing else can be truly in order. This is where the priority lies in Jesus’ message and ministry: before all else, he wants to point man toward the essence of his malady, and to show him – if you are not healed there, then however many good things you may find, you are not truly healed.”
Pope Benedict XVI -
“Mary presented the offering of the poor (cf. Lk 2:24). Luke, whose entire Gospel is shot through with a theology of the poor and a theology of poverty, is once again making it abundantly clear that Jesus' family belonged to the poor of Israel, and that it was among such as them that the promises would be filled”
Pope Benedict XVI
