From Whispers in the Loggia, a quotation that seems unusually well -timed for yours truly. Too much moralizing, however well- meant can be bad for the soul. As you can tell from the picture though, my choir class has a way of keeping my feet on the ground.
“I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes. But I think it's very important to be able to see the funny side of life and its joyful dimension and not to take everything too tragically. I'd also say it's necessary for my ministry.
A writer once said that angels can fly because they don't take themselves too seriously. Maybe we could also fly a bit if we didn't think we were so important.”
--Pope Benedict XVI
