B16 Shot for Today: Why we exist: Each of us is willed. . . loved. . .necessary.

a quote from the back of a Benedict XVI Holy Card:

"And only where God is seen does life truly begin. Only when we meet
the living God in Christ do we know what life is. We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary. There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him."

Neo-Darwinist Athists of the world, chew on that for a while!

h/t to Fr. Michael Najim at Gift and Mystery for the quote.
