Wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI
The fact that Jesus gives himself forever as food in the Upper Room during the Last Supper signifies the anticipation of his death and Resurrection and the transformation of an act of human cruelty into an act of love and self-giving.
—Pope Benedict XVI
from his book, What Is Christianity? The Last Writings

After Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI resigned from the papacy, he never stopped thinking or writing. Near the end of his life, he gathered together a whole volume of new material, dealing with the themes closest to his heart, and asked that it be published upon his death. With prophetic insight into our times, Benedict warns of a “radical manipulation of man” in the name of tolerance, insisting that the only “authentic counterweight to every form of intolerance” is Christ himself—and Christ crucified.
