His Holiness, the poet

Pope John Paul II’s new book of poetic meditations, The Poetry of John Paul II - Roman Triptych: Meditations, has gone on sale in the US.

It contains three poetic meditations by the Pope on God as the beginning and the ending of human life and on the beginning and the ending of his own pontificate.

They are the first poems by the Pope published during his papacy.

The 40-page book, published by the US bishops conference, features full-colour artwork from the Casa Buonarotti and Albertina Museum and several pages of the Pope’s original handwritten text.
