St Teresa of Avila wrote: «the last thing we should do is to withdraw from our greatest good and blessing, which is the most sacred humanity of Our Lord Jesus Christ» (cf. The Interior Castle, 6, ch. 7). Therefore, only by believing in Christ, by remaining united to him, may the disciples, among whom we too are, continue their permanent action in history [Pope Benedict]
Santa Teresa d’Avila scrive che «non dobbiamo allontanarci da ciò che costituisce tutto il nostro bene e il nostro rimedio, cioè dalla santissima umanità di nostro Signore Gesù Cristo» (Castello interiore, 7, 6). Quindi solo credendo in Cristo, rimanendo uniti a Lui, i discepoli, tra i quali siamo anche noi, possono continuare la sua azione permanente nella storia [Papa Benedetto]
Just as he did during his earthly existence, so today the risen Jesus walks along the streets of our life and sees us immersed in our activities, with all our desires and our needs. In the midst of our everyday circumstances he continues to speak to us; he calls us to live our life with him, for only he is capable of satisfying our thirst for hope (Pope Benedict)
Come avvenne nel corso della sua esistenza terrena, anche oggi Gesù, il Risorto, passa lungo le strade della nostra vita, e ci vede immersi nelle nostre attività, con i nostri desideri e i nostri bisogni. Proprio nel quotidiano continua a rivolgerci la sua parola; ci chiama a realizzare la nostra vita con Lui, il solo capace di appagare la nostra sete di speranza (Papa Benedetto)
"Beloved" of God (cf. Lk 1: 28). Origen observes that no such title had ever been given to a human being, and that it is unparalleled in all of Sacred Scripture (cf. In Lucam 6: 7). It is a title expressed in passive form, but this "passivity" of Mary, who has always been and is for ever "loved" by the Lord, implies her free consent, her personal and original response:  in being loved, in receiving the gift of God, Mary is fully active, because she accepts with personal generosity the wave of God's love poured out upon her [Pope Benedict]
"Amata" da Dio (cfr Lc 1,28). Origene osserva che mai un simile titolo fu rivolto ad essere umano, e che esso non trova riscontro in tutta la Sacra Scrittura (cfr In Lucam 6,7). E’ un titolo espresso in forma passiva, ma questa "passività" di Maria, che da sempre e per sempre è l’"amata" dal Signore, implica il suo libero consenso, la sua personale e originale risposta: nell’essere amata, nel ricevere il dono di Dio, Maria è pienamente attiva, perché accoglie con personale disponibilità l’onda dell’amore di Dio che si riversa in lei [Papa Benedetto]
Jesus seems to say to the accusers: Is not this woman, for all her sin, above all a confirmation of your own transgressions, of your "male" injustice, your misdeeds? (John Paul II, Mulieris Dignitatem n.14)
Gesù sembra dire agli accusatori: questa donna con tutto il suo peccato non è forse anche, e prima di tutto, una conferma delle vostre trasgressioni, della vostra ingiustizia «maschile», dei vostri abusi? (Giovanni Paolo II, Mulieris Dignitatem n.14)
Here we can experience first hand that God is life and gives life, yet takes on the tragedy of death (Pope Francis)
Qui tocchiamo con mano che Dio è vita e dona vita, ma si fa carico del dramma della morte (Papa Francesco)
The people thought that Jesus was a prophet. This was not wrong, but it does not suffice; it is inadequate. In fact, it was a matter of delving deep, of recognizing the uniqueness of the person of Jesus of Nazareth and his newness. This is how it still is today: many people draw near to Jesus, as it were, from the outside (Pope Benedict)
