Wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI

 
 
 

We should recall that, before giving us the Eucharist, [Jesus] knelt down before his disciples and washed their dirty feet, cleansing them with his humble love.

—Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

from his book, Jesus of Nazareth: From the Baptism in the Jordan to the Transfiguration

JESUS REVEALS GOD

In this bold, momentous work—his first book written after he became Pope—Joseph Ratzinger seeks to salvage the person of Jesus from recent “popular” depictions and to restore Jesus’ true identity as discovered in the Gospels. Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and invites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith.
