Benedictus
Rather than another Far Side, Dilbert or Garfield desk calendar for the mother-in-law this year, may I be so bold as to suggest Benedictus, an elegant volume of meditations for each day of the year taken from the exhortations of Pope Benedict XVI. Published by Magnificat and Ignatius Press, the book contains 416 illustrated pages with 721 details of sacred art: well worth the US$19.95. Visit http://www.magnificat.net to order.
