Lord I Love You! Homilies Through the Liturgical Year: Volume 2: Advent, Christmas, Marian Feasts, and Saints Days, (Paperback)

Pope Benedict XVI was known for his brilliant mind, but he also had a heart in love with the Lord. In this careful selection from his papal homilies, read-ers can not only learn from his encyclopedic knowledge of the Christian tra-dition, but grow in their own love for God as they journey with Benedict through the seasons and feasts of the liturgical year. <i>Lord I Love You! Volume 2</i> includes the joyful seasons of Advent and Christmas as well as important Marian feasts and other saints' days throughout the year, making it an excel-lent choice for spiritual reading and a great Advent/Christmas gift idea for those who appreciate the late pope's message of the centrality of Christ and the reliability of the Catholic tradition. <p>Pope Benedict was not a charismatic preacher in the mold of his predecessor John Paul II, but the texts themselves are gems of Christian exhortation and reflection that are best appreciated on one's knees in a chapel or held in one's hands in a quiet place in one's home--that is, in a book like this and not scrolling through a website. For scholars and students of the late pope, the collection also provides a helpful distillation of his main themes and princi-pal concerns into short, easily digestible pieces. The editor, Fr. Pietro Rossot-ti, uses the official Vatican translation with only minor spelling modifications and added footnotes with bibliographical references whenever possible.</p>
