Update on "God is Near Us'

After a lot of major disruptions including but not limited to the death of my grandfather, I finally found (well, O.K. Travis found it) the Pope Benedict book "God Is Near Us". It's extremely overdue but I didn't want to just return it without reading a little more. I'm glad I did. One little gem in this book that I've been turning over in my mind is this: everything we offer to God, He Himself has given it to us. "He gives so that we may give". I love this Pope. Viva Il Papa!
