[i]Light of the World: The Pope, the Church, the Sign of the Times[/i]

This really a wonderful, delightful interview with Pope Benedict... A glimpse into a man of deep prayer and trust in God. And I'm a huge fan of his philosophical and theological work in the first place, so it's been great to read how he applies certain principles and themes to situations within the Church.

Although, one of my favorite lines was about how, when he was elected as Pope, he brought his own study (furniture, book cases, lamps, etc) with him. He refused the Papal furniture for his study.

I'm currently messing around with my Duay-Rheims/Latin Vulgate Bible.
Reading "The Fathers Know Best" by Jimmy Akin
and "The Comsuming Fire, A Christian's Guide to the Old Testement" by Micheal Duggan.
Making my way through "Heretics" by G.K. Chesterton.

I often read like three books at once.

That's next in my reading list.

i am currently reading "Brave the Tempest" by a Filipino Opus Dei Priest. He answers the questions such as why women cannot be ordained, why the Mass is not a theatrical act, etc. etc. :saint:

[i]Quo Vadis[/i] by Henrik Sienkiewicz.

Fiction, but really makes you think about the details of what it may have been like for the persecuted Christians in Nero's Rome.

That's one of my mom's favorites! She made us watch the movie one year, but I long to read the book.
