Opening our hearts to the Other (Pope Benedict XVI)


   Entering into the sentiments of Jesus means not considering power, riches and prestige as the supreme values in our lives, for basically they do not respond to our most profound spiritual thirst, but rather, by opening our hearts to the Other, carrying with the Other our life’s burden and opening ourselves to Our Heavenly Father with a sense of obedience and trust, knowing that by such obedience to the Father, we will be free.  Entering into the sentiments of Jesus:  this should be our daily practice of living as Christians.

--Pope Benedict XVI
