In doing so, the Holy Father provides an opportunity for all of us to draw close to God and deepen our personal relationship with Him. 'I would like to say to all of you, and also to those who are passing through a difficult moment in their journey of faith, to those who take little part in the life of the Church or who live "as though God did not exist" not to be afraid of the Truth, never to interrupt the journey towards it and never to stop searching for the profound truth about yourselves and other things with the inner eye of the heart.' Pope Benedict XVI The heart of the rich teaching of Benedict XVI was the theme of faith. Since the beginning of his ministry as the Successor of Peter, he several times insisted on the need to rediscover the journey of faith and above all the joy and excitement of being a Christian. ‘The Church as a whole and all her Pastors like Christ, must set out to lead people out of the desert, towards the place of life, towards friendship with the Son of God.’ (Homily 24 April 2005) The Catholic Foundation Stones series created by Vincenzo Santarcangelo and edited by Giuliano Vigini, collects, organises and disseminates the valuable heritage of Benedict XVI. It consists of eight volumes that draw on the rich store of homilies, catechesis and speeches, and offers through the words of Benedict XVI an authoritative and comprehensive synthesis of life and of Christian doctrine. The Eight Volumes of the Catholic Foundation Stones series are : Learning to believe Jesus: Words and Deeds The Church Our Lady The Seven Sacraments The Commandments The Virtues of God Life of Prayer & the 'Our Father'
