Benedetto XVI, il Papa emerito. Ma soprattutto l’uomo del Monastero: l’ex convento di clausura incastonato in una radura appartata dei Giardini vaticani, dove si è trasferito nel maggio del 2013 dopo l’epocale rinuncia al pontificato. Da allora, la percezione della sua personalità è cambiata. Con quel gesto di Joseph Ratzinger si sono prodotte anomalie a cascata che, dopo nove anni di papato di Francesco, perdurano e condizionano gli equilibri della Chiesa.

Based on Pope Benedict XVI's weekly teaching on the relationship between Christ and the Church, this book tells the drama of Jesus' first disciples—his Apostles and their associates—and how they spread Jesus' message throughout the ancient world.

We Catholics simply don't expect enough of the sacraments. Sometimes, I think they must be the most underutilized power sources on the planet. The sacraments lie dormant for many because we don't understand them, not knowing how to tap into their supernatural energy. Living the sacraments weaves together Scripture, the writings of the saints, and personal stories to help us understand these seven gifts of the church and experience their practical and spiritual rewards.

Cardinal Ratzinger compellingly shows us the biblical, historical, and theological dimensions of the Eucharist. The cardinal draws far-reaching conclusions, focusing on the importance of one's personal devotion to and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, for the personal reception of communion by the individual christian, as well as for the life of the church. For Ratzinger, any transformation of the world on the social plane grows out of the celebration of the Eucharist. He beautifully illustrates how the omnipotent God comes intimately close to us in the Holy Eucharist, the heart of life.

Il libro è stato scritto dalla necessità di un cuore sacerdotale, spontaneamente, di fronte alle minacce delle ideologie globali del mondo moderno, che sono e devono essere una seria sfida sia per la Chiesa che per ogni cattolico.

Che uomo era Gesù? Come si è formato nell’infanzia e nella giovinezza? Come è nata in lui una certa idea di Dio e del mondo? Come è diventato maestro e predicatore? Come ha iniziato a fare miracoli? Come è arrivato a essere rifiutato e crocifisso? Quale fu l’effetto del suo modo di vivere sulla società in cui viveva? Cosa capirono davvero i contemporanei di lui (e cosa noi, oggi, capiamo di lui)? Cosa rimane, insomma, del suo personalissimo Vangelo? Rispondere a tutte queste domande significa riscoprire la figura di Gesù e comprendere perché ancora oggi affascini credenti e non credenti.
