Reseña del editor:

A message of love and healing from the world's most influential spiritual leader, the fourth book in a phenomenal series collecting the works of Pope John Paul II. THE LOVING HEART comprises the private prayers, beliefs and homilies of Pope John Paul II. This stirring book contains an abundance of hope and encouragement. Inspirational and broadly spiritual, this book focuses on prayer, and includes such topics as hope, peace, love, compassion, forgiveness, and spirituality. Beautifully packaged to match the past two volumes, this book is sure to be read the world over. An extraordinarily compassionate volume, THE LOVING HEART consists of excerpts from speeches addressed to sick people, many of them in hospitals or in places like leper colonies or gatherings at shrines, such as Lourdes. The title is taken from a particularly lyrical and sensitive prayer in which the Pope calls for those who have a loving heart to look after the sick. Embedded in this message of love is the message that sick people are closer to God and should look for meaning in their suffering. As the introduction puts it: 'Sick people and the world of suffering occupy a special place in John Paul II's heart.' Gorgeously packaged THE LOVING HEART will bring comfort and inspiration to readers the world over, especially to those who need it most.
