One dedicated to St. Joseph that Pope Benedict prepared for the Christmas season has already appeared in a German newspaper. It will join hundreds more and will be organized according to the liturgical year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fr. FEDERICO LOMBARDI When Pope Benedict XVI died, Archbishop Georg G\u00e4nswein became his executor. The Pope\u2019s longtime secretary gave these documents to the Ratzinger Foundation so they could enter the public domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fr. FEDERICO LOMBARDI Pope Benedict XVI\u2019s writings are notable for their spirituality. The pope consolidated his international fame as a highly respected religious author with works like Introduction to Christianity and the Jesus of Nazareth trilogy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CA The President of the Ratzinger Foundation announces that over 100 previously unpublished homilies of Pope Benedict XVI will be published in the Spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":72747,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,206,25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GlWSNjipGf8","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bomelieineditebenedettoeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bomelieineditebenedettoint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72750"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72750"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72754,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72750\/revisions\/72754"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
President Joseph Ratzinger Foundation<\/strong>
Benedict XVI delivered a well-prepared homily every Sunday, even when he did not have to celebrate Mass in public; even during his travels or during the great ceremonies in St. Peter's; even when he was in his private chapel with members of his family, with the secretary and the nuns who lived with him; or even with a few invited friends.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are more than 100 homilies that have been recorded and that we are organizing according to the liturgical year, that is, so that they are presented according to the liturgical seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, etc. And then, those of Ordinary Time. However, this is not a systematic and complete commentary on the entire festive lectionary.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Joseph Ratzinger Foundation<\/strong>
After Benedict\u2019s death, we asked the person who kept the homilies, namely his secretary, Monsignor G\u00e4nswein, if we could work on preparing a publication. Of course, it is a publication that will not be reviewed and approved by the author, but it is made with great care and love by us, with great attention and with a good knowledge of Benedict\u2019s thoughts and his style of expression.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
