"And it is today, in the present that we decide our future destiny. It is with our concrete everyday behavior in this life that we determine our eternal fate. At the end of our days on earth, at the moment of death, we will be evaluated on the basis of our likeness or otherwise to the Baby Who is about to be born in the poor grotto of Bethlehem, because He is the measure God has given humanity."
~ Pope Benedict XVI, Christ is the Measure God has Given Humanity, December 9, 2007 ~
