What if the words of the Pope - or many popes - were offered in language so accessible that young Catholics could understand them? That is what this gorgeous series offers!

With the permission of Libreria Editrice Vaticana, the editor has adjusted the often difficult vocabulary and sentence structure used by popes in ways that are faithful to the original texts, yet easy to read for young people. Centered on spiritual themes, and filled with stunning photographs, every page is a contemporary, four-color meditation space that encourages prayer, affirms Catholic identity, and expresses the unity and continuity of our faith through the ages.
