Which Gives Life a New Horizon


'Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea,
 but the encounter with an event, a Person, 
which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.'

 Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est, 2006
Painting: Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, The Conversion on the Way to Damascus (detail)
