Springtime of Evangelization
A valuable collectors item for all Catholics! This book presents the addresses of Pope John Paul II to the bishops of the United States on their 1998 ad limina visits to the Vatican. You get all the specifics, right from the Holy Father himself, about how he hopes the New Evangelization will be carried out in the U.S. These exciting and very readable addresses are vintage Pope John Paul. Forward by Fr. Richard John Neuhaus. Destined to be a classic.
The complete text of the Holy Father's 1998 ad Limina Addresses to the Bishops of the United States.
"John Paul II has an extraordinary grasp of the modern...and especially the modern "American"...spiritual terrain. His ad limina talks make very fruitful reading for anyone interested in enriching his or her faith, and we owe a special thanks to the Legionaries for bringing these texts to the general public." Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap, Archbishop of Denver
"These thirteen talks of the Pope to the United States bishops in 1998 admirably highlight the priorities of the present pontificate as they apply to the Catholic Church in the American culture context. The tone is ardent and engaging; the message is crystal clear, and the very words convey the evangelical spirit of John Paul II. All in all, the right diagnosis, the right prescription, and the fare we need." Rev. Avery Dulles, S.J., Lawrence J. McGinley Chair in Religion and Society, Fordham University
"It must be a rare layperson who has ever read any of the Pope's addresses to bishops on their ad limina visits. This collection of talks delivered by John Paul II to U.S. bishops in 1998 shows us what we were missing: a glimpse of a great teaching pontiff giving guidance to our more immediate teachers. In their very brevity, these addresses reveal which concerns are more urgently felt by the Holy Father and of the "Springtime of Evangelization." All Catholics should be grateful to the Legionaries of Christ for making these writing available, and for the illuminating introduction by Father Thomas William, L.C." Mary Ann Glendon, Member, Council for the Laity, Professor of Law,
