"We Have Come to Adore Him": An Introduction to Prayer at the School of Benedict XVI

What is Christian life really about? God, who in himself is infinite love, life and light, wants to give us his life! He wants us to share in the riches of his own life, in the communion of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is the foundational truth of Christianity. This is why the first paragraph of the Catechism of the Catholic Church says that in his Son Jesus, God the Father calls men and women "to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life."
