“We must learn – once again, not only at the theoretical level, but in the way we think and act – that alongside the real presence of Jesus in the Church and in the sacrament, there exists that other real presence of Jesus in the little ones, in the trampled of this world, in the last, in whom he wants us to find Him”

Joseph Ratzinger, future Pope Benedict XVI

From an unnamed text from the 1970s, as quoted by Pope Francis on his preface to the Pope Emeritus’ book “Liberating freedom. Faith and politics in the third millennium“
