Benedetto Xvi Benedetto FONDAZIONE VATICANA JOSEPH RATZINGER BENEDETTO XVI An investment for the future Fondazione Vaticana “It is an investment for the future”. This is the answer I Joseph Ratzinger – Benedetto XVI usually give when someone asks me what the Ratzinger Joseph Ratzinger – Benedict XVI Foundation is about. Vatican Foundation Why? Because nowadays we live in a society in which Via della Conciliazione, 5 young people are vulnerable and Joseph Ratzinger decided 00120 Città del Vaticano to invest in the new generations. He started by celebrating tel. 06.69882856 people whose work is not talked about: this is in fact the www.fondazioneratzinger.va purpose of the Ratzinger Prize, which is given personally by the Pope. Ratzinger has taught at universities for many years and has spent his whole life with young people. He there - fore decided to go and meet university students and make them reflect upon our world, in which man and God live to - gether. In four years he was able to involve more than 320 universities and 4,300 young students, together with their professors. These numbers, although not huge, are impor - tant for those who listen to and follow Him . He has said that “you are like a mustard seed”, “like a bit of yeast that makes the dough rise”. The future is important for the “Joseph Ratzinger – Bene - dict XVI Vatican Foundation”: it donates grants to young Ph.D. students with the aim of making people understand that theology means an investment for the future.
