“Everybody in this pragmatic, cerebral society always wants to put himself first, and this cannot be done. God doesn’t want me to do it. God wants me to be third, never first. God comes first, my neighbor second, and I am third.”

“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.”
-Pope Benedict XVI
