Meditations & Catechesis on the Psalms and Canticles of Evening Prayer
John Paul II, Pope / Benedict XVI, Pope
Two Popes comment on the Psalms and canticles of Vespers
This second series of catechetical commentaries, begun by John Paul II and completed by Benedict XVI, offers original and illuminating reflections, leading the reader to deeper meditation and understanding.
These reflections will prove an invaluable companion to those who pray the Liturgy of the Hours or simply for those who love the scriptures. The psalms and canticles used by the Church for the four-week cycle of evening prayer are also reproduced in this volume.
In this volume, ‘we will be on a pilgrimage to that “holy land” made up of the Psalms and Canticles. One by one we will reflect on each of those poetic prayers, which God has sealed with his inspiration. They are invocations which the Lord himself desires should be addressed to him, for he loves to listen to them, hearing in them the heartbeat of his beloved children.’ (John Paul II)
