"Benedict XVI did theology on his knees in prayer. His explanation of matters of faith was carried out with the devotion of a man who totally surrendered himself to God and who, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sought an ever-greater understanding of the mystery of Jesus, who fascinated him from his youth."
"Let us thank God for having given us Pope Benedict XVI:"
"Benedict XVI reminded us by word and example that the fullness of our existence is found only in the personal encounter with Jesus Christ..."
"This is my wish for the reader: that he or she may find in these pages, featuring the passionate and gentle voice of a master of faith, hope in the grace of a new and life-giving encounter with Jesus."
