This brings back fond memories of our morning meeting with Cardinal Ratzinger in Rome after he celebrated Mass at the German College in the Vatican. I was giving him my book and he signed a copy of his book for me. I was telling him that my endorsement was on the back of one of his books published by Ignatius Press.
I Just Discovered this Video of our Family’s Meeting with Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict)

Thanks for posting this! Enjoyed seeing our Holy Father so much younger. You and your family were truly blessed to meet him. You must treasure that book!
This is awesome! I especially loved when he said, “They are my friends” in reference to Ignatius Press. Haha. Judging by my own bookshelf I’d say “they are my friends” as well!
Thanks for the post, Steve – and keep up the GREAT work for the Lord!
