Religious Quote: Joseph Ratzinger

A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.
Joseph Ratzinger

Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not... with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
Joseph Ratzinger

Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.
Joseph Ratzinger

The wrath of God is a way of saying that I have been living in a way that is contrary to the love that is God. Anyone who begins to live and grow away from God, who lives away from what is good, is turning his life toward wrath.
Joseph Ratzinger

To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.
Joseph Ratzinger

The Cross is the approbation of our existence, not in words, but in an act so completely radical that it caused God to become flesh and pierced this flesh to the quick; that, to God, it was worth the death of his incarnate Son.
Joseph Ratzinger

We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires.
Joseph Ratzinger

Having a Sister Means Having a Best Friend for Life

Author’s Note- This essay talk about how much I appreciate the wonderful sister that I have. Without her, I wouldn’t have a life that a twelve year old girl would live.

There is one thing in this world that most younger kids don’t care much about. Their older sisters. I have an older sister named Angela. Angela is a sophomore in High School, she’s 16, has her driver’s license and makes my life more complete. When I am having trouble in school or with a friend, my family and I have dinner and talk out our problems. For example, yesterday, Angela was bringing me home from school. I told her that I was really mad at a teacher. Angela told me what to do, even though I already did it. We were talking out the situation in the car and eventually got through it. That’s what I love about Angela is that she helps you through tough situations that you can’t handle on your own.

I hear quite often, daily, at school say how much they scorn their sister. It breaks my heart when I hear people say this kind of stuff about them. People ask me all the time, “I hate my sister. Do you like your sister?” And I always respond yes. There has never been one time where I have said no, I hate my sister. Even though we get into fights a lot, we still love each other. Our sistership will never grow apart and that’s how the Lord created us. Angela is the perfect sister for me. She is helpful, compassionate, intelligent, trustworthy and a defender. She is always there for me, loves and cares for me. If I didn’t have Angela in my life, I wouldn’t know what to do.

Having a sister means having a best friend for life. Older sisters can answer questions that maybe they have already experienced, for example, your first crush. Your sister could talk you through on what to do so you don’t embarrass yourself. Sisters can guide you through your life and help you through tough situations. Some people I know are only childs in their family. I hear them day and night saying they wished they had a big sister. I am lucky to have Angela as a sister because without her, I would be alone, mostly inside watching TV instead of going outside and enjoying the fresh air. Angela and I are so much alike. We love movies, roller coasters, food, my dog Percy, music and a lot of other things. Jesus created Angela and I to be perfect sisters. Our sisterhood will never grow or fall apart. No matter how hard things can be between you and your sister, never let that special bond drift away.

  1. I always cry when I read any of your amazing piece's. You had some great ideas with "sisterhood" and "A sister means having a best friend for life" and that is very true. I hope you showed this to you sister because this is just beautiful. I too have a big sister but I do admit that she is not the best sister for me but yes I do love her and I always will. Nice job!
