An extraordinary opportunity to understand the vision of Pope
Francis Pope Francis is a first in many ways: the first pope from
the Americas, the first Jesuit, the first Francis, the first child
of immigrants from the Old World, nurtured and transformed by the
New World, and returned to lead the whole world. His eloquent
homilies and speeches have inspired the faithful of Argentina for
decades, largely through his gift of oratory, tracing back to his
time as a bishop, archbishop, and cardinal in his home country.
Published in English for the first time in their entirety and with
contextual annotations, In Your Eyes I See My Words, Volume 1
collects his homilies and speeches from 1999 to 2004. Volume 2
spans from 2005 to 2008, and Volume 3, from 2009 to 2013, concludes
with his prophetic last homily before his election to the papacy.
This illuminating collection presents an extraordinary opportunity
to understand the vision of a great pastor. His words bear witness
to the deep experience of faith among God's people while also
showcasing his own extraordinary ability to connect with
communities of faith. Through these homilies and speeches, Pope
Francis humbly displays his abilities as a wordsmith, a patient and
attentive teacher, an inspired and faithful theologian, and a
sensitive pastor uniquely attuned to his people, offering ready
guidance for their journeys, but also journeying with them. The
first of a three-volume translation of Pope Francis's theological,
pastoral, anthropological, and educational thought provides rich
insights into the mind and theological unfolding of a spiritual
leader who has become beloved all across the globe. Within it we
see Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio-later Pope Francis-ministering
to the needs of the people while also engaging with the political,
technological, and societal forces affecting their daily lives.
Here is an ecclesial voice not afraid to challenge the politicians,
the culture-makers, and media moguls-even his own ordained and lay
church ministers-to live a life of faithfulness marked by justice,
equality, and concern for the needs of everyone, urging all to rely
on the "vitality of memory" and the "recovery of hope." In Your
Eyes I See My Words also provides a glimpse into the political,
social, and religious environment of Argentina and Latin America,
providing a unique perspective on the issues confronting the
faithful and how those issues motivated and nurtured Pope Francis's
understanding of the Church's mission to all segments of
society-particularly to those underrepresented and on the margins
of history.
