“A Jesus had to be crucified because he was an alive man. He must have called in his childhood, "Jesus, don't be befooled by others." And he was not befooled, so others had to crucify him, because he was not part of the game. Socrates had to be poisoned and killed, Mansoor had to be murdered. These are people who have escaped from the prison, and whatsoever you say you cannot persuade them to come back. They will not come into the prison. They have known the freedom of the open sky.” PeopleMenGamesJesusChristKnownAliveSkyChildhoodJesus ChristPrison Author:Rajneesh
“Hence the Bible has no record of his years of preparation; the record is very abrupt. Something about his childhood is said, very fragmentary. And only once is he mentioned: when he was twelve years of age and he started arguing with the priests in the temple - that's all. Then there is a gap of eighteen years... nothing is mentioned.” YearsSaidAgeJesusChristRecordsChildhoodJesus ChristArguingPreparationTemplesPriestsGapsTwelveEighteen Author:Rajneesh
“For more than 160 years, through the initiative of the French bishop Charles de Forbin Janson, the childhood of Jesus has become the icon for the commitment of Christian children who help the Church in her task of evangelization by prayer, sacrifice and gestures of solidarity....Thousands of children meet the needs of other children, driven by the love that the Son of God, become a child, brought to the earth. I say thanks to these little ones and I pray that they will always be missionaries.” NeedsYearsChildrenLittlesHelpingEarthChristianJesusChurchPrayerSacrificeChildhoodSonPrayingCommitmentTasksDrivenThanksGesturesInitiativeSolidarityI PrayIconsBishopsNeeds Of Others Author:Pope Benedict XVI
