“Only if you mix knowledge with attitude, character, perseverance, vision, diligence, and extreme levels of work will your college degree produce for you.”
Dave Ramsey, The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness

Pope Benedict XVI
“Just as the genealogies break off at the end, because Jesus was not begotten by St. Joseph, but was truly born of the Holy Spirit from the Virgin Mary, so it now can be said of us that our true "genealogy" is faith in Jesus, who gives us a new origin, who brings us to birth "from God.”
Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives

Pope Benedict XVI
“With the flight into Egypt and the return to the promised land, Jesus grants the definitive Exodus. He is truly the Son. He is not going to run away from the Father. He returns home, and he leads others home. He is always on the path toward God and thus he leads the way back from exile to the homeland, back to all that is authentic and true.”
Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives

Pope Benedict XVI
“From the moment of his birth, he belongs outside the realm of what is important and powerful in worldly terms. Yet it is this unimportant and powerless child that proves to be the truly powerful one, the one on whom ultimately everything depends.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives

Pope Benedict XVI
“Man is a relational being. And if his first, fundamental relationship is disturbed- his relationship with God- then nothing else can truly be in order. This is where the priority lies in Jesus’ message and ministry: before all else, he wants to point man toward the essence of his malady, and to show him- if you are not healed there, then however many good things you may find, you are not truly healed.”
Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives
