Description: "The Pope John Paul II Cultural Center celebrates the Silver Jubilee Year in the pontificate of Pope John Paul II with photographs selected exclusively from the archives of the Vatican's newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano. Often poignant and always moving, these wonderful photographs demonstrate the Holy Father's devotion to the Eucharist, which has been at the center of his 25-year pontificate." "In April 2003; the Pope's latest encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, was released to great acclaim. In it he demonstrates how the "Church draws her life from the Eucharist."" "The book offers the insights of several American Cardinals, Bishops and Catholic scholars regarding the encyclical in reflective essays that will enrich your own understanding of the Holy Eucharist."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "This work is inspired by the year-long series of four photographic exhibitions ... at the Museums of the Pope John Paul Cultural Centre, Washington, DC, September 10, 2003 through November 7, 2004."
