I'm reading his book Behold the Pierced One for Lent and Holy Week reading.. i'm always inspired by the intricacy, subtlety and depth of this message. as well the breadth and integrity of his vision of the faith.

Pope Benedict XVI is truly amazing.

Its interesting to note that Ignatius Press' lenten reflections this year were based on Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI book "Jesus of Nazareth".....a truly inspiring lenten resource.

His profound legacy of faith and spirituality lives on in his writings, even tho he is retired from the Main Papal Position as head of the Catholic Church, its his books that are resourced continuously
