I've read this before and am reading it again as part of my daily devotional reading during the Year of Faith. It's a beautiful book and Magnificat has done a great job. The size is perfect for me. I keep it on my desk so easily accessible. There are two ribbons, a gold and a white, as place

holders. Each day has two photographs, often highlights from paintings. The daily text fits on one page.

I'm new to the faith, having entered in 2010 after a rather lengthy journey, and I have a particular fondness for Pope Benedict XVI. The last little resistance to taking the big step to begin RCIA fell when I listened to Pope Bendict's (then Cardinal Ratzinger) homily after the death of Pope John Paul. These daily and prayerful reflections serve as touchstones for me as I seek to grow deeper in my faith.

The book contains an index to the meditations by month, another index of the illustrations, a helpful list of bibliographical information, and a concise introduction to Pope Benedict and his mission. I highly recommend this thoughtful book of meditations for personal use or as a gift.
