words from pope benedict xvi

Again, not Catholic myself, but I just read this and thought it was good to hear from a man of God. Telling the author of a couple of interviews that God has a sense of humor, then Cardinal Ratzinger said:

"Sometimes he gives you something like a nudge and says, 'Don't take yourself so seriously!' Humor is in fact an essential element in the mirth of creation. We can see how, in many matters in our lives, God wants to prod us into taking things a bit more lightly; to see the funny side of it; to get down off our pedestal and not to forget our sense of fun,"

How true that is. How true. And how I would like to point that out to some people in my life who take too much waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.
