"Although there are other important and appropriate ways to recuperate spiritually, the fundamental way to recover from activity and to learn to love it again, is the interior search for the face of God, which always restores our joy in God."
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, "The Ministry and Life of Priests"

"This common bond of obedience is also common freedom: it offers protection against arbitrariness, and guarantees the authentically Christological character of ecclesial obedience."
- Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, "The Ministry and Life of Priests"
