This sensational news comes as acclaim for the Pope’s second volume on Christ’s life continues to grow.
“It’s a remarkable achievement,” said Protestant scholar Dr. Craig A. Evans of Acadia Divinity College, Acadia University, in Wolfville, N.S., Canada. “It’s the best book I’ve read on Jesus in years. This is a book that I think all Christians should read, be they Protestant or Catholic.”
“This book fulfills Pope Benedict’s ardent desire – that it would ‘be helpful to all readers who seek to encounter Jesus and to believe in him,’” said Capuchin Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy (O.F.M., Cap.), Executive director of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat for Doctrine.

opens our eyes to see Love
opens our ears to hear Love
opens our hearts to find Love
opens our hands to give Love
opens our arms to accept all in Love
opens our intellect to understand Love
opens our souls to the wellsprings of Love
Jesus
bends our knees to the name of Love
bends our will to the Holy Will of Love
bends our intentions and desires for only Love
bends our appetites into zeal for Love
bends the self to deny oneself for Love
Jesus
