God Quote by Pope Benedict XVI — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Purity of heart is what enables us to see.”

“God is our Father and loves us, even when his silence remains incomprehensible.”

“Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us.”

“If you follow the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose a final refuge. You know that the foundation of the world is love, so that even when no human being can or will help you, you may go on, trusting in the One that loves you.”

“War is merely the universe’s Wi‑Fi‑password dispute—two armies fighting over a signal.”

“Sowing seeds of kindness always reaps a crop of heavenly blessings.”

“I suddenly saw that all the time it was not I who had been seeking God, but God who had been seeking me. I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God.”

“I have to ask myself how I can possibly expect to know Jesus as he would want to be known if my life remains unscathed by trouble and grief. How can I hope to grasp anything of God's heart for this broken planet if I never weep because its brokenness touches me and breaks my heart? How can I reflect his image if I never share in his sufferings? And how will any of us ever learn to treasure his hesed and grace if we never experience phases where these blessings seem absent?”

“These thoughts are depressing I know. They are depressing,”

“If you're male, and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And sometimes you find your father in your career.”
