God Quote by Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“God's love for his people is so great that it turns God against himself, his love against his justice.”

“The glory of God is the living man, but the life of man is the vision of God', says St. Irenaeus, getting to the heart of what happens when man meets God on the mountain in the wilderness. Ultimately, it is the very life of man, man himself as living righteously, that is the true worship of God, but life only becomes real life when it receives its form from looking toward God.”

“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.”

“The 'commandment' of love is only possible because it is more than a requirement. Love can be 'commanded' because it has first been given.”

“Ako stvari i krenu nagore, još mi uvijek preostaje Bog. Konačno shvaćam: ja sam ateist koji se nada da nije u pravu.”

“Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.”

“All sins are attempts to fill voids." because we cannot stand the God-shaped hole inside or us and we try stuffing it full of all sorts of things, but only God may fill it.”

“Life had stepped into the place of theory and something quite different would work itself out in his mind.”

“Children understood at a very young age that doing nothing was an expression of power. Doing nothing was a choice swollen with omnipotence. It was, in fact, godly.”

“Marriage isn't about Winning - It's about Lasting”
