Only Where God Is Seen Does Life Truly Begin

It is really so: the purpose of our lives is to reveal God to men. And only where God is seen does life truly begin. Only when we meet the living God in Christ do we know what life is.

There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him.

(Homily of his holiness Pope Benedict XVI. St. Peter’s Square Sunday, 24 April 2005)
