Wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI

 
 
 

Breaking and distributing: it is the act of distributing that creates community. This archetypally human gesture of giving, sharing, and uniting acquires an entirely new depth in Jesus’ Last Supper through his gift of himself. God’s bountiful distribution of gifts takes on a radical quality when the Son communicates and distributes himself in the form of bread.

—Pope Benedict XVI

from his book, Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week

ENTER INTO HOLY WEEK

For Christians, Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God; for others, he is a myth, revolutionary, or misunderstood prophet. Benedict XVI insists that Jesus is truly the Son of God and argues that sound historical scholarship neither disproves nor dismisses this claim. In Jesus of Nazareth: Holy Week, Benedict examines the many crucial questions raised by Holy Week, challenging readers to grapple with the meaning of Jesus’ life, teaching, death, and resurrection.
