"When we wish to propose something to powerful people, we do not presume to do so without humility and reverence. How much more should we petition the Lord God of the universe with great humility and total devotion" (The Rule of St. Benedict, Father of Western Monasticism).

"In the early Church, Luther’s theology finds a counterpart only in Marcion, whose theory, however, was immediately ruled out in the early Church because it was considered heretical.
— Pope Benedict XVI, What is Christianity? The Last Writings

I am reading Fr. Terrence Kardong's translation of the Life of Saint Benedict by Pope St. Gregory the Great and I especially love his rendering: "Thus he left Rome learnedly ignorant and wisely uninstructed." It really drives home the fact that worldly knowledge is meaningless if it leads to destruction of the soul.

"St. Benedict wished to suffer the world's wrongs rather than its praises, and to be worn out by labors for God rather than flattered by worldly praise."

"With the waning of temptation, the man of God, like a field cleared of briars, brought forth a bumper crop of virtue."

"For the brave warrior of God [St. Paul] did not wish to be cooped up; he sought the battlefield."

Pope Benedict XVI on the development of priestly celibacy as it relates to frequent offering of the Mass (What is Christianity? The Last Writings).

"Thus celebrating the Eucharist in the early Church was connected from the beginning with the community of believers and thus with rigorous conditions for admittance... This has nothing to do with slogans like 'inclusive Church' or 'exclusive Church'; rather, the fact that the Church profoundly becomes one thing, one Body with the Lord, is presupposed, so that she can forcefully bring his life and his light into the world."

"The first fundamental gift that faith offers us is the certainty that God exists. A world without God can be nothing but a world without meaning."
— Pope Benedict XVI, What is Christianity? The Last Writings

"When God dies in a society—we were assured—it becomes free. In reality, the death of God in a society also signifies the end of its freedom..."
— Pope Benedict XVI, What is Christianity? The Last Writings

"Today’s Church is more than ever a Church of martyrs and thus a witness to the living God... Unwillingness to notice them is a symptom of a slothful heart."
— Pope Benedict XVI, What is Christianity? The Last Writings

I enjoyed reading the Last Writings collection of Pope Benedict XVI, he provided some great insights. It just covered his writings primarily from his resignation to his departure from life, I hope to one day go back and read his other full works.

Pope Benedict XVI was a saintly man, I truly believe that he is presently in heaven praying for the Church.

A new edition of the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible on the Minor Prophets has been released:

The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible series has been immensely helpful to me over the years. Years ago, when I was departing an oppressive period of atheism, the Ignatius New Testament Study Bible helped me as I read the complete bible on my own for the first time. I still regularly refer to it when reading the New Testament or the select Old Testament books that have editions available. If you don't already have it, you should seriously consider picking up at least the New Testament study bible. I cannot wait until they have covered the entire canon.
