Vatican City, Nov 18, 2012 / 16:27 pm
During his Sunday Angelus remarks at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI said that the Sunday gospel reading about the passing of the world is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the focus and source of all creation.
"Everything passes, but the Word of God does not change, and each of us is responsible for his behavior before it," Pope Benedict said Nov. 18, from his window overlooking St. Peter's Square. "It is upon this that we shall be judged."
Jesus does not act as a visionary who gives forecasts and dates, the Pope explained. Rather, he wants to show his disciples "the right path to walk on, today and tomorrow, to enter into eternal life."
The Pope emphasized the centrality of Jesus in his comments to English-speaking pilgrims.
