New children’s book based on Pope Benedict’s audiences

CWN - July 23, 2010

A new children’s book based on Pope Benedict’s general audiences on the apostles has been published in Italy. Gli amici di Gesù [The Friends of Jesus] includes an introduction by Father Julian Carron, president of the Fraternity of Communion and Liberation, who writes that the Pope “takes us by the hand and accompanies us as we discover who Jesus’ first companions were, how they met him and were conquered by him to the point that they never abandoned him.”
