Personalism's Encyclical on Faith

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI gave us and is giving us that awaited encyclical on faith, in the middle of the year of faith, not by words but by the deed: a life resigned to the will of God. His abdication of the Papacy is a letter in the history of the Church which is studied by everyone in the world today and will continue to edify men for all future ages.

Calculated silence is often the loudest and most eloquent and most instructive word a man can speak.  The most eloquent lesson given by the Son of God Himself was to silently go to the slaughter with absolute serenity and confidence in the heavenly Father and in His Own divine power to save.

Faith is not a series of intellectual maxims but rather the encounter with the living God and loyalty to Him.

N.B. 1 Kings 19:11-13
