If you could ask Pope Francis one question, what would it
be?Children have questions and struggles just like adults, but
rarely are they given the chance to voice their concerns and ask
the big questions resting deep in their hearts. In Dear Pope
Francis, Pope Francis gives them that chance and celebrates their
spiritual depth by directly answering questions from children
around the world. Gathered from more than 250 submissions, 30
letters from children to Pope Francis are answered in a picture
book that feels akin to sitting in on a series of intimate
conversations. The letters, hand-written and illustrated, are
reproduced on left-hand pages, along with English translations and
photos of each child; the pope's answers appear opposite. The
questions can be theologically intense ("If God loves us so
much...why didn't he defeat the devil?"), deeply personal (Ivan, a
13-year-old from China, asks whether his non-Catholic grandfather
will go to heaven), or casual and blunt ("You are not very young
anymore," begins one from Dutch twins Hannes and Lidewij). The
answers are rarely simple, but the pope writes respectfully and
honestly, often invoking larger spiritual and social concepts while
the injustices of the present are often represented, as well: "In
today's world there is so much suffering. And, unfortunately, you
know that firsthand," Francis writes to a Syrian boy, Mohammed. A
beautiful hardback book full of life and joy and colour - the
perfect gift for Christenings and Confirmations and for children or
adults of all ages!
