About this ebook
The New York Times bestselling final volume in the Popeās Jesus of Nazareth series, detailing how the stories of Jesusā infancy and childhood are as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago.
Ā
In 2007, Joseph Ratzinger published his first book as Pope Benedict XVI in order āto make known the figure and message of Jesus.ā Now, the Pope focuses exclusively on the Gospel accounts of Jesusā life as a child. The root of these stories is the experience of hope found in the birth of Jesus and the affirmations of surrender and service embodied in his parents, Joseph and Mary.
This is a story of longing and seeking, as demonstrated by the Magi searching for the redemption offered by the birth of a new king. It is a story of sacrifice and trusting completely in the wisdom of God as seen in the faith of Simeon, the just and devout man of Jerusalem, when he is in the presence of the Christ child. Ultimately, Jesusā life and message is a story for today, one that speaks to the restlessness of the human heart searching for the sole truth which alone leads to profound joy.

About the author
On April 19, 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope Benedict XVI and became the 264th successor to Peter as the āVicar of Jesus Christ.ā He may well have been the most accomplished theologian to be elected Pope in modern times. Beginning in 1981, he spent more than twenty years as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a role often depicted as the ādefender of the faith.ā Cardinal Ratzinger was also President of the Pontifical Biblical Commission and of the Preparatory Commission that codified the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, published in 1994. Pope Benedict XVI died in 2022.
