Heart of the Christian Life

Author: Benedict XVI

Publisher: Ignatius Press, 2022

Description: This is a collection of homilies given by Pope Benedict XVI during 2008, the year of the eucharist. The homilies were given on various occasions and throughout the World, as can be gleaned from a few of his remarks in them. But the message contained in all of them is universal and timeless. His homilies are always a pleasure to read, and an inspiring and uplifting reading material. The theme in all of the homilies contained here is either the eucharist or some other aspect of liturgy. The Pope brings his vast erudition to the table, making frequent and pertinent references to the Scriptures, Tradition, history and scholarly works. And yet, he manages to weave all those references seamlessly into accessible and spiritually uplifting message.
