Pope Benedict XVI says….

The Vatican Information Services (VIS) puts out an almost-daily e-mail about the goings on of the pope, etc. Often it includes excerpts from his homilies or addresses. The following is from the Nov. 28th edition and quotes Pope Benedict’s homily for the first Sunday of Advent:

“Faced with Christ who approaches, man feels called in all his being. … Sanctification is a gift of God, it is His initiative, but human beings are called to correspond with all their being, leaving nothing of themselves excluded.”

“Just as at the center of human history is the first advent of Christ, and at the end His glorious return, so each individual existence is called to measure itself against Him in a mysterious and multifaceted way during the earthly journey, so as to be found ‘in Him’ at the moment of His return.”

Isn’t that wonderful?!

Just thought I’d share.

Oh, and if you’re interested in getting VIS (it’s free) go to Vatican Information Services

Grace and Peace,
`tim
