![“Faith is above all a personal, intimate encounter with Jesus, and to experience [His] closeness, [His] friendship, [His] Love; only in this way does one learn to know [Him] ever more, and to love and follow [Him] ever more. May this happen to each one of us.” quote by Pope Benedict XVI](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c3f/pope-benedict-xvi-414_closeness_faith-is-above-all-a-personal-intimate-e_149067.jpg)
