Title: Joseph Ratzinger in Ecclesia
Author: P. Jesús Villagrasa, LC
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform
Review: This collection of articles published by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in Ecclesia, a Catholic culture magazine, is a filial homage from the academic community of the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum—which currently sponsors the magazine—to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. The title “Joseph Ratzinger in Ecclesia,” besides indicating the origin of the publication, highlights a central dimension of his spirituality and theology that gives a vigorous unity to occasional articles.

Author: P. José Gustavo Cerros, LC
Review: A collection of publications aimed solely at awakening the desire for God in the soul.

Title: Jesus to My Soul
Author: P. Guillermo Serra, LC
Publisher: El Arca
Review: A collection of prayers and spiritual poems in the form of a book that express what the author has experienced over nearly 25 years as a Legionary of Christ, since he received his cassock in the Novitiate of Salamanca, Spain. Intimacies, desires, trials, intimate dialogues that, like embers covered by the ashes of time, still retain their initial heat and fire. A gentle breath of the Holy Spirit is enough to feel again the strength and vitality of what was experienced. In the book, you will find my personal experience, but also that gained in my spiritual conversations with many people who shared their own spiritual experiences.
