About this ebook
In one of the first homilies after his election, Pope Benedict XVI said: "There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ." In his newest book, popular DC-based pastor and teacher Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi connects this vision to everyday life, drawing on gospel passages that portray Christ's power and his important teaching in parables and offering challenging reflections that show readers how they can draw near to Christ: by studying scripture, celebrating the sacraments, and exercising the ministry of charity.
