Pope Benedict XVI Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has such a beautiful way of intertwining the teachings of Jesus with both the Church liturgical calendar and the world in which we live. He is able to express so much more than the simple words and phrases used; he allows to meditate on them without you knowing. I have always been an admirer of his teachings and writing style thanks in large part to his Jesus of Nazareth volumes: his subsequent books continue to reinforce this sentiment for me.
