Joseph Ratzinger was elected as pope on 19th April 2005

A day before his election, he delivered one of his most famous and prophetic speeches

Coining the phrase 'Dictatorship of Relativism', he predicted how the West would see relativists imposing their will on those who had traditional beliefs

It is a compelling and very powerful read, especially in light of recent events in the West:

'How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true.

Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be "tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine", seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's own ego and desires.

We, however, have a different goal: the Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism. An "adult" faith is not a faith that follows the trends of fashion and the latest novelty; a mature adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ. It is this friendship that opens us up to all that is good and gives us a criterion by which to distinguish the true from the false, and deceit from truth.

We must develop this adult faith; we must guide the flock of Christ to this faith. And it is this faith - only faith - that creates unity and is fulfilled in love.

On this theme, St Paul offers us as a fundamental formula for Christian existence some beautiful words, in contrast to the continual vicissitudes of those who, like children, are tossed about by the waves: make truth in love. Truth and love coincide in Christ. To the extent that we draw close to Christ, in our own lives too, truth and love are blended. Love without truth would be blind; truth without love would be like "a clanging cymbal" (I Cor 13: 1).

Let us now look at the Gospel, from whose riches I would like to draw only two small observations. The Lord addresses these wonderful words to us: "I no longer speak of you as slaves.... Instead, I call you friends" (Jn 15: 15). We so often feel, and it is true, that we are only useless servants (cf. Lk 17: 10).

Yet, in spite of this, the Lord calls us friends, he makes us his friends, he gives us his friendship. The Lord gives friendship a dual definition. There are no secrets between friends: Christ tells us all that he hears from the Father; he gives us his full trust and with trust, also knowledge. He reveals his face and his heart to us. He shows us the tenderness he feels for us, his passionate love that goes even as far as the folly of the Cross. He entrusts himself to us, he gives us the power to speak in his name: "this is my body...", "I forgive you...". He entrusts his Body, the Church, to us'

Sacred Scripture, which is the inspired Word of God, and Sacred Tradition, the living memory of the Church, are intimately bound together. They form the one Deposit of Faith, which helps us navigate the complexities of life to reach our eternal home in Heaven. #GeneralAudience

THE GIRL WHO DIES OF LOVE FOR JESUS EUCHARIST:

In 1331, when she was only 8 years old, according to the custom of the time, Imelda entered the convent. At the age of 10, she received the habit of a Dominican nun.

Although she was so young, she was an exemplary nun in the activities of religious life. However, she was somewhat intrigued by the fact that people received Holy Communion and continued to live.

Since Imelda was not old enough to take communion, she used to ask the nuns:

"Sister, the lady took communion with Jesus and didn't she die?" The nuns responded scared: What is that, girl, why die? The little nun responded:

"How can the lady receive Jesus in communion, and not die of love and so much happiness?"

It happened that in the early morning of May 12, 1333, the eve of the Sunday of the Ascension of the Lord, Imelda was at Holy Mass and could no longer stand her desire to take communion. She was wondering: "If Jesus commanded the children to come to Him, why can't I take communion?"

The priest had already finished giving Holy Communion to the nuns when everyone saw: a host came out of heaven and flew through the chapel. It stopped over Imelda's head. The priest then understood that it was time to take communion. Upon receiving the Holy Eucharist, Imelda placed herself in deep adoration.

After hours of prayer, the Mother Superior went to the nun and said:

"Okay, Sister Imelda, I already adore Jesus enough, we can continue. Let's go to the other activities of the convent." Imelda, however, remained motionless.

After the Superior's insistence, nothing happened .

It was then that the Mother lovingly picked up Imelda and she fell into her arms. Imelda had died during her First Communion. Little great Imelda's inquiry was fulfilled:

How can someone receive Jesus in Holy Communion and not die of happiness?

At 11 years old, Imelda died of love and happiness for having received Jesus!

+The body of Blessed Imelda Lambertini is found incorrupt, in Bologna, Italy.+

Pope Saint Pius X proclaimed her patron saint of children who are going to make their First Communion.
