The Empty Tomb, Fra Angelico, ca. 1437

“The Resurrection accounts certainly speak of something outside our world of experience. They speak of something new, something unprecedented — a new dimension of reality that is revealed. What already exists is not called into question. Rather we are told that there is a further dimension, beyond what was previously known. Does that contradict science? Can there really only ever be what there has always been? Can there not be something unexpected, something unimaginable, something new?”

- Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth, Vol. 2

Christ on the cross, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, 1665

“Certainly, God has given a sign of himself in the greatness and power of the cosmos, from which we may dimly perceive something of the power of the Creator. But the real sign that he chose is hiddenness, from the wretched people of Israel to the child at Bethlehem to the man who died on the Cross with the words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

- Pope Benedict XVI (What it Means to Be a Christian)
