Description

Hope-Filled Scripture Reflections from St. Peter's Basilica

In this book, scripture teacher and veteran Rome tour guide Joan Watson leads you panel by panel through the sixteen bronze images that adorn the Holy Door—each one a chapter in the great story of salvation. With prayerful insight and biblical reflection, Watson helps you see how your own story is bound up in God’s ongoing work of redemption.

  • Meet the angelic messengers—first in the Garden of Eden, where hope is lost, and then at the Annunciation, where God’s promise of the Messiah is fulfilled.
  • Return to key moments in the life of Christ, from his Incarnation and Baptism to his Passion and Death.
  • Place yourself in the scene of Christ’s earthly ministry, and witness the healing of the paralyzed man and the witness of the woman who anointed Jesus’s feet.
  • Identify with the weaknesses and foibles of Jesus’s closest followers, from denying Peter to doubting Thomas and the miraculous conversion of Saul.
  • Meditate on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Giver of Hope, who invites us to a living encounter with the God who loves us.
