Christoph Ohly/Josef Zöhrer (eds.)
To be a worker of truth
2024
Friedrich Pustet Publishing House
ISBN 978-3-7917-3547-4
Under the episcopal motto of Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI, "Co-worker of the Truth," the contributions published in this volume, based on the first Roman symposium of his two circles of students after his death on December 31, 2022, reveal the major guiding principles of his theological thought. The dynamic of the subtitle, "Carrying the Rich Legacy of Pope Benedict XVI into the Future," is evident in all the contributions. Between grateful reflection on the present and guidance toward the future, they prompt questions about the relevance and significance of Ratzinger's theology for the here and now.

Neuer Schülerkreis Joseph Ratzinger/Papst Benedict XVI. e.V.
"I was born on Holy Saturday, April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn. The fact that my birthday was the last day of Holy Week and the eve of Easter was always noted in the family history, because it meant that I was baptized on the morning of my birthday with the newly consecrated water during the 'Easter Vigil,' which was celebrated in the morning at that time. Being the first to be baptized with the new water was considered a significant event. That my life was thus immersed in the Easter mystery from the very beginning has always filled me with gratitude, for this could only be a sign of blessing."
