"The only legitimate competition among believers" is "the competition for the search for Christ". It was stated by the Pope. During today’s catechesis, he mentioned the "competition" between John and Peter running towards the sepulchre, "after hearing the news spread by Mary Magdalene". "The Fathers of the Church explained the Pope, saw their quick run towards the empty tomb as an encouragement to take part in the only legitimate competition among believers: the competition for the search for Christ". "And what about Mary Magdalene?", added the Pope: "She remained crying beside the empty tomb, with the sole wish to know where they took her Master. She found him and recognized him when he called her by her name". "We shall also meet him, if we look for the Lord with a simple and sincere soul assured us Benedict XVI, – or rather, he himself will approach us; he’ll let himself known, he’ll call us by our name, that is, he’ll let us enter the intimacy of his love".” ” ” “
