Pretty good for price
Color: 5 Pack
Super nice! It makes my skin feel soft. The only thing is that it starts to get gray. I tried hand washing it, and putting it through the wash and it doesn’t come out.

Profoundly Deep and Spiritual Homilies
Format: Hardcover
Cardinal Cantalamessa's homilies are interesting and deep. I can't possibly read them except slowly and meditatively.

A readable set of reflections on Faith, Hope, and Charity
Format: Hardcover
Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa offers a series of wonderful theological and spiritual insights into the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity. Taking presentations on each of the virtues, the Cardinal edited each into smaller units, each three to four pages in length. This makes for easy reading (one could take a selection a day) for "lectio divina". His treatment of "Justification by Faith" puts what has been a "thorn of contention" into easily understood terms that can open itself to ecumenical dialog with other Christian denominations for whom this has been a point of misunderstanding of the Catholic position.
