With God You Are Never Alone: The Great Papal Addresses

From his first homily as pope to the last public hearing, these are the 10 great speeches of Benedict XVI's pontificate.

Since his death in 2022, Benedict XVI has been celebrated as a leader of profound wisdom and dismissed as an unrepentant traditionalist. With God You Are Never Alone presents Benedict XVI as he was--a man of faith, in his own words. These speeches--his deepest thoughts and beliefs--are the truth of his legacy.

Collected here are ten speeches, including his speech on visiting Auschwitz, his address to the House of Commons and House of Lords, his address to the German Bundestag in Berlin, his address to the United Nations, his notorious Regensburg speech and the speech in which he announced his historic resignation. His thoughtful speeches present an inspiring thinker who still has much to teach about not just religion, but the common good. These are the speeches that reveal the depth of his theological reflection in simple language that has nourished the faith of millions.
