The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus and the affirmations of surrender and service embodied in his parents, Joseph and Mary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a story of longing and seeking, as demonstrated by the Magi searching for the redemption offered by the birth of a new king. It is a story of sacrifice and trusting completely in the wisdom of God as seen in the faith of Simeon, the just and devout man of Jerusalem, when he is in the presence of the Christ child. Ultimately, Jesus' life and message is a story for today, one that speaks to the restlessness of the human heart searching for the sole truth which alone leads to profound joy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn April 19, 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected \u003cb\u003ePope Benedict XVI\u003c\/b\u003e and became the 264th successor to Peter as the \"Vicar of Jesus Christ.\" He may well have been the most accomplished theologian to be elected Pope in modern times.
