A book to cherish

You will love this small book. It's a collection of various short comments written by the popes. These are all arranged depending on what the pope is talking about, what day it is of the nativity cycle. For example, some are to be read on the feast of the Immaculate Conception, some on Christmas eve, some on the Nativity, and some on the Solemnity of Mary and the feast of the Nativity. You could read these short comments aloud to your family at dinner. Imagine how magical it would be to hear how Pope John Paul said, "Advent helps us to understand the value and meaning of the mystery of Christmas" (p 22). It could certainly create memories your children will cherish forever. A wonderful way to hold onto the true meaning of Christmas.
