(Jan. 23, 2013) Paying tribute to Pope Benedict XVI’s trilogy of books devoted to
Jesus Christ, Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller, writes that it is certainly worth
studying this extraordinary work of about 900 pages. The Prefect of the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith said that anyone who wishes to know what to expect
of God and what man’s situation is, must pass through Jesus of Nazareth,.” Archbishop
Muller said “Jesus, in fact is not merely one of the determinative figures of human
history, but rather the only man to be the measure for all. Through him God came to
us, in him he accepted us and revealed to every person his highest calling”. The
prelate added “ Whenever some skeptic asks me, if I truly believe that the Only-Begotten
Son of God was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary
without a man’s contribution, I answer with conviction and without hesitation: yes,
because I believe in God to whom nothing is impossible.”
