Seekers of Truth, and thus of God

This year’s Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples,
entitled, “The truth is the destiny for which we have
been made,” opens this morning. In greeting the organizers
cordially, I assure them of my prayer that,
through the numerous initiatives planned, the Meeting
may be for many a fruitful occasion for reflection and sharing,
in realizing the deepest vocation of man:
to be a seeker of the truth, and thus a seeker of God.

Benedict XVI at the Angelus, Sunday, August 19, 2007
