Who
is Pope Benedict?
Joseph
Cardinal Ratzinger was elected by the
College of Cardinals to the papacy on
April 19, 2005. He took the name Benedict
after two great figures: St. Benedict of
Nursia, whose model of monastic life
helped rebuild European culture after the
collapse of the Roman Empire; and Pope
Benedict XV, who was committed to bringing
peace to a Europe torn by war--World War
I.
Pope
Benedict was born on April 16, 1927, on
Holy Saturday. In his youth, he was
exposed to the horrors of Nazi Germany ,
which left a lasting impression on him.
After the war, in 1951, his brother Georg
and he were ordained on the same
day.
His
lifelong passion for learning and teaching
led him to serve as a professor of
theology at German universities for
twenty-six years. He authored many books
on theology, Scripture, liturgy and the
life of the Christian in the modern world.
A renowned scholar, he attended the
sessions of the Second Vatican Council as
an influential theological advisor.
After a
short stint as Archbishop of Munich, he
was called to Rome by Pope John Paul II in
1981. He served as head of the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith, until his election as
pope.
Reflections
GOSPEL:
John 14:15-21
Several words in today’s reading are
so important that we should repeat them to
ourselves often: “Obey the commands I
give you.” Jesus knows how difficult
this would be for us if we had to do it
all alone. So he gives us a Helper, the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit living and
working in us enables us to put the
teaching of Jesus into
action.
1.)
Jesus promised to send the Spirit of truth
and love to us. Where do you find truth
and love in your life? There you will find
the Holy Spirit.
2.)
When is truth and love fun and exciting?
When is truth and love hard and
difficult?
