Benedict Reminds Us
On Sunday Mass
"Every parish is called to rediscover the beauty of Sunday, the Lord's day," the Holy Father said. This is especially true, he added, during the Year of the Eucharist. "In the heart of this year dedicated to the Eucharist, the Christian people gather around Christ, who is present in the most holy Sacrament, the source and summit of her life and mission."
On the Family
"Accompanied by the paternal solicitude of Joseph," he adds, "Mary welcomed her Son. In the home at Nazareth Jesus reached maturity in a family that was humanly splendid and marked by the divine mystery, one that has been a model for all families. In this respect, in domestic coexistence the family realizes its vocation of human and Christian life, sharing joys and expectations in a climate of understanding and reciprocal help. Thus, the human person, who is born, grows and is formed in the family, is capable of undertaking with certainty the path of goodness, without letting himself or herself be disoriented by methods or ideologies foreign to the human person."
On the Holy Trinity
"Jesus has revealed to us the mystery of God," said the Pope. "He, the Son, made us know the Father Who is in heaven, and gave us the Holy Spirit, the Love of the Father and Son. Christian theology synthesizes the truth about God with this expression: one substance in three persons. God is not solitude, but perfect communion. For this reason the human person, in the image of God, is realized in love, which is the sincere giving of oneself."
