USCCB Word of Life
Men and women were created for something great, for infinity. … the desire for a more meaningful life is a sign that God created us and that we bear His “imprint.” God is life, and that is why every creature reaches out towards life. Because human beings are made in the image of God, we do this in a unique and special way. We reach out for love, joy and peace.
~ Pope Benedict XVI, “Message for World Youth Day” (2011)
Pope Benedict’s first message to young people, he taught with great conviction that if “we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed.”
