Dominicans Welcome the Pope

The Dominican Friars at the Dominican House of Studies http://priory.dhs.edu raise a welcome sign as the Holy Father arrives in Washington beginning his Apostolic Journey to the United States of America, April 15, 2008. Cardinal Ratzinger gave an address in the Priory Chapel of the Dominican House of Studies on January 20, 1990 and met with the community on that occasion and we are very happy to welcome him back as Pope Benedict XVI! His address was entitled "Jesus Christ Today, Yesterday, and Forever." Cardinal Ratzinger's address concluded with these words: "Life, real life, cannot simply be 'taken' by man nor can it simply be received. It draws us into the dynamic of giving, into the dynamic of Christ who is life. To drink the living water from the rock means to ratify the sacred mystery of the water and the blood. This stands in radical opposition to that desire which propels toward drugs. It is a consent to Love and it is the entry into Truth. And just so, it is Life."
