Widely regarded as his spiritual last testament, the Poetry of John Paul II, Roman Triptych: Meditations contains three new poems by Pope John Paul II, the first ones written and published during his pontificate.

- Be swept away by the pope's sense of awe and in “The Stream,” the shortest, yet most spiritually uplifting of the three poems.

- In “Meditations on the Book of Genesis at the Threshold of the Sistine Chapel,” stand with Pope John Paul II at the doorway of the Sistine Chapel with as he reflects on the creation story of Genesis, Michelangelo's interpretation of it in the Sistine Chapel, and the future conclave of cardinals that will elect his successor. Read a hint of the pope's hope for the future.

- Listen as Pope John II retells the story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac in “A Hill in the Land of Moriah" as a personal conversation between him and the Voice of God-or the lack of one.
