Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger Elected Pope Benedict XVI
“Only when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what life is. We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary. There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him.” (Pope Benedict XVI, Homily for the Beginning of the Petrine Ministry, 25 April 2005)
