Catholic News Agency is reporting that Pope Benedict XVI is planning to write a new encyclical, most likely on Faith, and begin writing a new book while on vacation this summer. The book is going to be "on the Gospels of the infancy of Jesus." Does this mean that the second volume of Jesus of Nazareth will not cover the infancy narratives? Either way, I am eagerly anticipating the publication of all of the above. Let us keep the Holy Father in our prayers for a swift completion of these works (and for continued health)!
