thelittlthings reblogged peterapostle“If you, O Jew, reproach me by saying that I worship the wood of the cross as I worship God, why do you not reproach Jacob for bowing down before the point of Joseph’s staff? It is obvious that he was not worshipping wood, but that he was bowing before Joseph by means of the wood. So with us; we glorify Christ through the cross, and not the wood itself.”

“I believe God has a great sense of humor. Sometimes he gives you something like a nudge and says “Don’t take yourself so seriously!” Humor is in fact an essential element in the mirth of creation. We can see how, in many matters in our lives, God wants to prod us into taking things a bit more lightly; to see the funny side of it; to get down off our pedestal and not to forget our sense of fun.”
— Pope Benedict XVI, in God and the World.
