Apostołowie są naocznymi świadkami Jezusa. Tylko ten, kto Go zna, kto zna Jego słowa i czyny, kto sam w czasie długich dni i nocy doświadczył wspólnoty z Nim – tylko ten może Go zanieść innym. Ta zasada i dziś nie straciła nic ze swej aktualności.

Ostatnie przesłanie o drogach kapłaństwa i przyszłości Kościoła.

Joseph Ratzinger (1927–2022) często zatrzymywał się w swoich homiliach nad tajemnicą powołania kapłańskiego. Wyrażał w nich swoje przemyślenia zarówno o istocie tej drogi życia, jak również o problemach, które dotykają kapłaństwa urzędowego i chrześcijaństwa.

Ratzingerowe medytacje odnoszące się do fragmentów Pisma Świętego pokazują to, co najistotniejsze w myśli bawarskiego Teologa: pozwolić Bogu przemówić tak, aby Jego słowo przemieniało życie. Z jego refleksji można też wyczytać, w jaki sposób rozumiał on powołanie do bycia księdzem, a potem także biskupem i w końcu papieżem.

Pope Benedict XVI

943 books934 followers
Originally Joseph Ratzinger , a noted conservative theologian before his election in 2005, Benedict XVI strove against the influence of secularism during his papacy to defend traditional Catholic teachings but since medieval times first resigned in 2013.

After Joseph Ratzinger served a long career as an academic and a professor at the University of Regensburg, Pope Paul VI appointed him as archbishop of Munich and Freising and cardinal in 1977. In 1981, he settled in Rome as prefect of the congregation for the doctrine of the faith, one most important office of the Roman curia. He also served as dean of the college of cardinals.

Benedict XVI reigned 265th in virtue of his office of bishop of Rome, the sovereign of the state of Vatican City and the head of the Church. A conclave named him on 19 April 2005; he celebrated his inaugural Mass on 24 April 2005 and took possession of his Lateran cathedral basilica of Saint John on 7 May 2005.

Benedict XVI succeeded Saint John Paul II, predecessor and his prolific writings on doctrine and values. Benedict XVI advocated a return to fundamental Christian values to counter the increase of many developed countries. Relativism denied objective truth and moral truths in particular; he viewed this central problem of the 21st century. With the importance of the Church, he understood redemptive love of God. He reaffirmed the "importance of prayer in the face of the activism" "of many Christians engaged in charitable work." Benedict also revived a number and elevated the Tridentine Mass to a more prominent position.

Benedict founded and patronized of the Ratzinger foundation, a charitable organization, which from the sale of books and essays makes money to fund scholarships and bursaries for students across the world.

Due to advanced age on 11 February 2013, Benedict announced in a speech in Latin and cited a "lack of strength of mind and body" before the cardinals. He effectively left on 28 February 2013.As emeritus, Benedict retained the style of His Holiness, and the title and continued to dress in the color of white. He moved into the newly renovated monastery of Mater Ecclesiae for his retirement. Pope Francis succeeded him on 13 March 2013.

A short collection of homilies by Cardinal Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict, addressing the priesthood and providing his usual encouragement to students for the priesthood and to priests in the vineyard. As a philosopher and a keen observer of the signs of the times, Ratzinger has been successful in producing works of theology that are easy to read and directly address current questions. Such also are his homilies and they are very welcome. In this collection may be found encouragement to persevere in a difficult task and repeated exhortations to find joy in the work of Christ, the beginning and the end of everything that the Church does.

Este libro recopila una serie de homilías de Benedicto XVI cuando aún era cardenal. todas están homilías tienen como tema de fondo el sacerdocio.
Como cada uno de los escritos de este gran hombre, me sorprende la profundidad con la que reflexiona sobre los diferentes pasajes bíblicos, analizando cada detalle que muchas veces leo y pasan desapercibidos.
una excelente lectura.
