My Brother, the Pope
Monsignor Georg Ratzinger
This is not simply a book to satisfy curiosity about a “celebrity”, though it certainly will do that. It is a beautiful portrait of Catholic family life and, in the most literal sense, of enduring fraternal charity. Georg has a talent for telling a story, and the co-author, Michael Hesemann, fills in some of the historical background. Many photographs, both in black and white and in color, round out a thoroughly enjoyable and inspirational book.
“From the beginning of my life, my brother has always been for me not only a companion, but a trustworthy guide. For me he has been a point of orientation and of reference with the clarity and determination of his decisions. He has always shown me the path to take, even in difficult situations.” - Pope Emeritus Benedict XVIPages: 270

Message of Guadalupe - Booklet
Message of Guadalupe - Booklet
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Queen of Mexico, Mother of the Americas and Protectress of the Unborn Child.Why, in 1531, did Our Lady appear to an illiterate Mexican worker, Juan Diego? How can interest and devotion to her today be so widespread? Our Lady appeared as an Indian girl, speaking Juan Diego’s own native language, and offered her help to the oppressed and largely pagan people from which he came. The miraculous image, which appeared as a result on Diego’s clothing, can still be seen in Mexico today. This booklet tells the story, and the message Guadalupe has for the modern world. Gillian Rae eloquently shows how Mary’s ‘missionary image’ spans the centuries to combat today’s ‘culture of death.’
