Fathomless are His Designs

"It is not within the human being’s power to shape himself, as it were, into a great-souled person and finally into a Christian. On the contrary, the process of becoming a Christian begins only when a person sloughs off any illusion of independence and self-sufficiency when he or she acknowledge that human beings do not create themselves and cannot bring themselves to fulfillment but must open themselves and allow themselves to be led, as it were, to their own true selves."
(Pope Benedict XVI) |
