For the first time ten of Benedict XVI’s most momentous speeches during his pontificate have been published in one volume. Titled"With God you are never alone" , the book is published by the Vatican's publishing house, Libreria Editrice Vaticana , along with the Italian Rizzoli, and hit the shelves on 9 January, just over a week after the Pope Emeritus’ death on 31 December 2022.The preface is penned by Father Federico Lombardi, S.J.
The volume proposes a limited selection of the Pope Emeritus’ most significant discourses ranging from his historic speech to the Roman Curia on 22 December 2005, the first year of his Petrine ministry, to his last General Audience on 27 February 2013 after he announced his renunciation, but does not include any of his magisterial writings or documents.
The texts selected have been pronounced in different times, places and contexts, addressing the main issues that underpinned his pontificate and entire theological thought: from the relationship between faith and reason, to the ongoing search for God in the modern secularized society, to the question of the presence of God in the face of evil, to the reception of the Council.
This, remarks Father Lombardi, is not coincidental: “The last ‘European Pope’ thoroughly knows the culture and history of his continent, and is convinced that it is no coincidence that the form assumed by the Christian faith in dialogue with reason was formed in Europe.
“Pope Benedict poses to the men of our time the question whether the objective reason that manifests itself in nature, investigated and known by man's subjective reason, does not presuppose a creative Reason that founds both, and recalls man's responsibility before God and the recognition of the inviolable dignity of every human person, made in the image of God.”
