"Dio è amore, chi sta nell'amore dimora in Dio e Dio dimora in lui". Queste parole della lettera di San Giovanni esprimono con singolare chiarezza il centro della fede cristiana, l'immagine cristiana di Dio e anche la conseguente visione dell'uomo e del suo cammino"
These are the starting words of the first Encyclic of Pope Benedict.
I dare a translation:
"God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."(1John 4:16). These words of the letter of Saint John express with singular clarity the center of the Christian Faith, the Christian image of God and the consequent vision of man and his path."
The encyclic itself is in two parts: the first is on the "unity of love, the creation and the history of salvation". The second is about "charitas" as an expression of love by the Church.
They also figure that the Encyclic may be presented on Friday by mons. Josef William Levada and mons. Paul Cordes.
Meanwhile, I am puzzled by the distribution of μένω.
