To Follow You, Light of Life: Spiritual Exercises Preached Before John Paul II at the Vatican (Italian Texts and Studies on Religion and Society) Book

Foreword by Pope John Paul II Translated by David Glenday A little more than a year before his death, Pope John Paul II gathered his closest aides for a six-day retreat at the Vatican. During this retreat Italian archbishop Bruno Forte offered a series of meditations based on Jesus' words in John 8:12, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." Translated into English by David Glenday and collected in this lovely book, these nurturing meditations offer much insight and wisdom to all Christians who desire a closer walk with Jesus. Each of the six days includes two meditations on the day's theme followed by two instances of "lectio divina" ? close readings of Scripture ? complete with pointed questions that will lead readers to consider their own faith journeys. Similar to the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, "To Follow You, Light of Life" will make ideal material for retreats, personal devotions, and group study.Read More
