This item received 3 stars overall. Breakfast with the Pope

Put together by one of my closest friends, Bert Ghezzi, this is a devotional book of the Pope's sayings collected from a variety of sources. Though sometimes his words are quite heavy, Benedict's depth of understanding is phenomenal. Sometimes his words seem detached from every day experiences, but once you understand what he is trying to communicate, his words are clearly relevant, especially in regards to ethics and morals.

Selections from the book are pulled from a large variety of sources. Some of the quotes are from his books, some from the Pope's first two encyclicals, some from his homilies, and some from talks that he has given at events like World Youth Day.

Excerpts are from a vast array of Pope Benedict XVI’s work, including his encyclicals God is Love and Called to Hope, addresses before the Angelus and general audiences at the Vatican, and messages for World Days for Youth, Peace, and more.

The topics are equally as varied, from why the Holy Father chose the name Benedict to the reality of sin in the world; reflections on faith, hope and charity to warnings of the new idolatry of success, fame, money and material goods.

I can’t imagine being worthy of critiquing Pope Benedict. One can only say that what the Holy Father writes, we in the pews ought to read. The editor of Breakfast with Benedict has done a marvelous jo Full Review...
