Paul F Kennedy's Jesus With Us captures the essence of the American Catholic experience in a novel, creative way. The 24 poems and 30 photographs blend the Catholic liturgical year with American holidays to render a thoughtful, inspiring testament of faith. Paul took photographs at St. Peter's in Rome, the Tomb of Jesus, the Garden of Gethsemane, Manger Square in Bethlehem, and Nazareth. Other photos include stained glass windows and statues at churches, illustrating the poems and the feasts. Family pictures accompany Mother's Day, Father's Day, and St. Valentine's Day, the human element being so crucial to those feasts. This book emphasizes how Jesus, his mother, and the saints have been with us throughout the past two millenia, and continue to influence our world. They speak to us through visual art, the written word, and the Word made flesh.
