Pope Benedict XVI has decided it's time to kick back and get some down time. The pontiff has begun his summer vacation in the Italian Alps and from his retreat suggests we all should do the same. Stating that we should use our holidays to recover from the frenetic pace of our daily lives, leaving little time for silence and reflection.
As he commenced his summer break he offered up some holiday suggestions to those seeking some downtime of their own. In his first public address since his arrival, he urged thousands of faithful to use holidays for "prayer, reading and meditation on the deep meaning of life, surrounded by family and loved ones".
While the Pope is on his break he plans on many activities. Including hiking, writing, praying, studying, piano playing and reading.
We're not sure what books are on the Pope's summer reading list, but we're pretty sure these ones are nowhere to be found.
