Pope Benedict XVI Quote: “The truth of Jesus' word cannot be tested in terms of theory. It is like a technical proposition: it is shown to be correct only by testing. The truth of what God says here involves the whole person, the experiment of life. It can only become clear for me if I truly give myself up to the will of God, so far as he has made it known to me.” [God and the World]

“Our greatest freedom to do, not our own will, but the will of the beloved. We will treasure it as our greatest riches to possess nothing but what the beloved bestows upon us. We will esteem it our greatest fecundity to be but a vessel held in readiness for every fructifying seed of the beloved.” [Hans Urs Von Balthasar, page 29 Christian State of Life]
