What does Deus Caritas Est mean? Ask the Pope!

Pope Benedict explains Deus Caritas Est in his own words:

"Dear Readers of Famiglia Cristiana,

I am very pleased that Famiglia Cristiana has sent you at home the text of my encyclical and has given me the possibility to accompany it with some words to facilitate its reading. Initially, in fact, the text might seem a bit difficult and theoretical. However, when one begins to read it, it becomes evident that I only wished to respond to a couple of very concrete questions for Christian life."
