[1]Pope Benedict XVI (Philip Chidell[2] / Shutterstock.com[3])
“Without God man neither knows which way to go, nor even understands who he is. In the face of the enormous problems surrounding the development of peoples, which almost make us yield to discouragement, we find solace in the sayings of our Lord Jesus Christ, who teaches us: ‘Apart from me you can do nothing’ (Jn 15:5) and then encourages us: ‘I am with you always, to the close of the age’ (Mt 28:20).” (Pope Benedict XVI, 2009, Encyclical, Caritas in veritate #78)
