Our Lord explains the relationship between Christians and the world. Therefore, there should be no surprises and also no fear. (Homily Easter, Week 5, Saturday)
POPE BENEDICT XVI: “Again and again, the very notion of saints has been caricatured and distorted, as if to be holy meant to be remote from the world, naive and joyless. Often it is thought that a saint has to be someone with great ascetic and moral achievements, who might well be revered, but could never be imitated in our own lives. How false and discouraging this opinion is! There is no saint, apart from the Blessed Virgin Mary, who has not also known sin, who has never fallen.”

That is true. Sin may even mean motion...
Please let me know if there’s something specific in the homily that you find difficult to harmonize with B16’s words. Blessings +
