I just finished reading Peter Seewald's very down to earth interview with Pope Benedict (Benedict XVI, Light of the World, the Pope, the Church, and the Signs of the Times, 2010). It’s an intimate view of the Pope’s thoughts and Catholics will find it fascinating to read.

It’s also a huge burden to take on in one’s old age, so please keep the Pope (and his beloved brother) your prayers.
