Pope recommends reading Bible during summer

August 3, 2011. (Romereports.com) (-ONLY VIDEO-) During the general audience at Castel Gandolfo, the pope's summer residence, Benedict XVI recommended reading a book from the Bible in the summer. FULL TEXT

"I greet all the English-speaking visitors present today, including the groups from the United States of America and from the islands of the Caribbean and Mauritius. My special greeting goes to the young people from Australia and the Japanese pilgrims from Nagasaki. During these summer days, many of us find time to enjoy reading a good book. Today I would like to suggest reading through one of the many books of the Bible, as a way of appreciating the beauty of God’s word and thus growing in knowledge and love of him. May the Lord bless you and your families with wisdom, joy and peace!"
