Beschrijving
A Pope for 33 Days. A Priest for 43 Years. A Teacher Even Today
For little more than a month in the late summer of 1978, Pope John Paul I captured the word’s attention. For more than four decades, Father – and eventually Cardinal – Albino Luciani inspired those who know him well and loved him dearly.
From his birth in northern Italy in 1912, to the Vatican’s acceptance of his cause for canonization in 2003 (an initial step in the process of becoming a saint) The Smiling Pope: The Life and Teaching of John Paul I presents the story of the gentle and genial pontiffwho chose “Humility” for his episcopal motto, and who lived it so well.
And now, published for the first time in English, are Pope John Paul I’s insights and lessons on:
Faith, Hope and Love
Never Losing Heart
The Role of Education in the Family
And many more
