BENEDICT XVI: TO THE LEADERS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES, "THE LIGHT OF TRUTH" (2)” “” “

” “"For this reason, a sincere dialogue about the place of the Eucharist – went on Pope Benedict XVI – will undoubtedly help make the ecumenical movement move forward and unite our testimony in front of the world". Then the Pope highlighted the style that such dialogue should have. "Ecumenical dialogue – he said – moves on not only through an exchange of ideas, but by sharing gifts that mutually enrich us. An idea aims at attaining the truth; a ‘gift’ expresses love. Both are essential for dialogue. Opening up and accepting spiritual gifts from other Christians stimulates our ability to perceive the light of the truth that comes from the Spirit". ” “
