Wit and Wisdom of Good Pope John
by Pope John XXIII, Henri Fesquet
Category: Popes

In this delightful and touching collection of sayings and anecdotes, the compiler lets Pope John XXIII draw his own portrait. In its pages we grasp something of the interior energies and impulses of a real "pastor" who held out his arms to the world and embraced humanity. They also reveal a man deeply human, a man of good sense and fine judgment, one who possessed a nimble wit and, to the highest degree, a sense of humour.
