At the release of a new photographic book on World Youth Day Madrid 2011, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela recalled the global youth event as a “powerful” opportunity for conversion.
Titled, “A True Cascade of Light,” the 302-page book features 224 photographs including Pope Benedict XVI’s arrival to his entrance through the Gate of Alcala, his meeting with religious and professors at El Escorial, the Way of the Cross and the stormy evening at Cuatro Vientos Airfield.
The new book, which was edited by Isidro Catela Marcos and photographer Anahi Rodriguez Villalba, also includes all of the Pope's addresses.
In his prologue, Cardinal Rouco Varela wrote that the event surpassed “our most ambitious expectations” and has had an immediate impact.
