Spiritual Thoughts: In the First Year of His Papacy

Spiritual Thoughts wonderfully captures his deep spiritual and holy life and his extraordinary intelligence as expressed in the first year of his papacy and begins to unlock the mystery of who this pope will be. The short reflections from his talks, homilies, and writings presented here are prayerful, at times forceful, and always satisfying. They offer wonderful insights on how to live out our Christian faith today addressing themes like forgiveness, commitment, freedom, life, atheism, and suffering. Spiritual Thoughts is perfect prayerful reading for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is a great gift, especially in preparation for Easter or for events like First Communion or graduation. It will be profoundly rewarding for readers of contemporary spirituality and leave them thirsting for more.Benedict XVI is the author of 'Spiritual Thoughts: In the First Year of His Papacy', published 2007 under ISBN 9781574557657 and ISBN 1574557653.
