New Encyclical!
Read Pope Benedict's first encyclical "God Is Love".
Here's a nugget from the introduction to whet your appetite:
Saint John also offers a kind of summary of the Christian life: “We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us”.
We have come to believe in God's love: in these words the Christian can express the fundamental decision of his life. Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.
I'd love to see your comments on its contents over the next few days.
