Book of homilies by Pope Benedict available soon in Spanish and English

Rome, Italy, Dec 3, 2008 / 04:01 pm (CNA).-

“Omelie,” the new book of homilies by Pope Benedict XVI published in Italian, will soon be available in Spanish and English, according to the publishers of the work.

After the General Audience last Wednesday, the Holy Father greeted the book’s publishers—who also publish the largest financial daily in Italy, ‘Il Sole 24 hore”—and Vatican analyst Sandro Magister, who selected the homilies and wrote the prologue for the book.

During the exchange, Magister was accompanied by his wife Anna and his daughters Sara and Martha.  The Pope congratulated him for his work on the book “Omelie.” Magister responded by calling Benedict XVI a true “narrator” of the “marvelous story which is the liturgical year.”
