          - Pope Benedict XVI

          - Pope Benedict XVI

          - Pope Benedict XVI

" Life is not governed by chance; it is not random. Your very existence has been willed by God, blessed and given a purpose! Life is not just a succession of events or experiences. "

          - Pope Benedict XVI
