"In these homilies, most of which are previously unpublished, Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, addresses the theme he has celebrated, pondered, and witnessed by his life more than any other: love. For him, love is the vital nucleus of the Church and to serve Christ is above all a question of love: ""Peter, do you love me? Feed my sheep"" (Jn 21:15-17).

Love is also the quest of every human being on the journey toward eternity. He beautifully states, ""Christianity is a movement, a journey; it is not a theory, a sum total of doctrine; Christianity is life, it is a vital impetus that carries us toward true life. . . . Someone who has found love can say: I have found life.""

Arranged by the liturgical seasons of the Church year, the homilies predate the author's pontificate. The earliest dates from 1970 while he was still a professor of theology. Thus, this collection traces the way Joseph Ratzinger has been enamored of the love of God throughout his years of serving the Church."

Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) is widely recognized as one of the most brilliant theologians and spiritual leaders of our age. As Pope he authored the bestselling 3-volume work, Jesus of Nazareth, and prior to his pontificate, he wrote many influential books that continue to remain important for the contemporary Church, including Introduction to Christianity and The Spirit of the Liturgy.
