” “Faith in Jesus as the Son of God, being witnesses and the agape are the three aspects that the Pope highlighted tonight, during the celebration of the Vespers in the Cathedral of Regensburg. First and foremost, it is "faith in the fact that Jesus is the Son of God made flesh" that "distinguishes us as Christians". "At the time of multi-religious meetings warned Benedict XVI we are easily tempted to slightly tone down this central confession or even hide it. But, in doing this, we do not do any favour to meeting or dialogue. In doing this, we only make God less accessible to others and to ourselves". "In this common confession of ours and in this common task of ours added the Holy Father there is no division between us". In fact, "the confession must become a testimony"; actually, "the witness of Jesus Christ must state his testimony with all his existence, with life and death". As he mentioned the I Letter of Saint John, who explains that "because he has seen, he can testify", the Pope highlighted that it "assumes that we too the next generations must be able to become sighted, in order to be able to give a testimony as sighted". As well as praying the Lord "to make us sighted", Benedict XVI exhorted people to help "each other to develop this ability, in order to make the men of our time sighted too, so that they, in their turn, through all the world built by themselves, can rediscover God".
