NEW TITLESNEW! AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBERRemember Jesus ChristResponding to the Challenges ofFaith in Our TimeRaniero Cantalamessa, OFM CapTranslated by Marsha Daigle-Williamson, Ph.DWhat place does Christ have in modern society? Fr.Raniero Cantalamessa, the preacher to the papal household, asked that question in a series of Advent andLent meditations presented to Pope Benedict XVI. InRemember Jesus Christ, which is based on these meditations, he argues that the church must become “fishers”of men before becoming “shepherds” of men. It mustproclaim, as the apostles did, that “Jesus Christ is Lord!”And the essential core of that proclamation is the passion and death of Jesus, because God is love, and thecross of Christ is supreme proof of that love. Scripture,personal testimonies, and allusions to works of art reinforce Cantalamessa’s powerful and prophetic message,leaving readers with hope and expectant faith in thefuture of Christianity in the modern world.“If we read this collection of meditations unhurriedlyand let the Lord guide us in every new insight, it willopen the way for a closer relationship with Jesus. It willalso unite us in a personal way with our Holy Father,Pope Benedict XVI, who heard these same words andthoughts from Fr. Canatalamessa, the papal preacher.Having just made my own retreat, I now regret that I didnot have this book with me. I would have made a betterretreat—as would anyone longing to encounter and toremember Jesus Christ.”—Cardinal Theodore E.
