2005: Pope Benedict’s XVI’s encyclical Deus Cartias Est (‘God is Love’)
25 December 2021 All day
Prayer of Pope Benedict from Deus Caritas Est
Holy Mary, Mother of God, you have given the world its true light, Jesus, your Son - the Son of God. You abandoned yourself completely, to God's call and thus became a wellspring of the goodness which flows forth from him. Show us Jesus. Lead us to him. Teach us to know and love him, so that we too can become capable of true love and be fountains of living water in the midst of a thirsty world. Benedict XVI, Caritas Deus Est, n 42
