Product Description

Angelo Roncalli, the man who became Pope John XXIII and who convened the Second Vatican Council, is a rich and full-hearted spiritual companion. Pope John challenges us to trust modernity, even when the times don’t seem to deserve our trust; he models a love of history from which we may learn about life; he teaches us to keep our wit, even when faced by detractors; and he reminds us that if the Lord has given us so much, then there must be a divine plan for its use. Perhaps most important, he has given us a clear and unmistakable vision of the Gospel and its power to renew the face of the earth.
