"Eternal life’ is not - as the modern reader might immediately assume - life after death, in contrast to this present life, which is transient and not eternal. ‘Eternal life’ is life itself, real life, which can also be lived in the present age and is no longer challenged by physical death. This is the point: to seize ‘life’ here and now, real life that can no longer be destroyed by anything or anyone."

Pope Benedict XVI (via sunflower-soul)
