In Your Eyes I See My Words, Volume 3 brings together the homilies
and speeches of Archbishop Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio from 2009
through his election as Pope Francis on March 13, 2013. These
writings provide an intimate glimpse into the theological,
philosophical, scientific, and cultural-educational currents that
forged the steady, loving, and nurturing leadership style with
which Bergoglio guided the Church in Buenos Aires. That style has
now done the same for the Church from Rome, a Church rocked by
financial and moral scandals, and a world shaken by the first
global pandemic in a century. These writings were kneaded-a word he
uses when talking about the work of molding the souls and character
of youth and seminarians-in the relationships he formed in his bus
rides to work and in his intense contact with all segments of the
population. Because of that careful and prayerful process of
kneading they have found their full development in Bergoglio's
writing as Pope Francis, especially in Evangelii gaudium (November
2013); Gaudete et exsultate, On the call to sanctity (March 2018);
and his encyclical Laudato si' (May 2015). In this final volume of
Bergoglio's homilies and papers we meet European theologians and
thinkers such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri de Lubac, and
Bergoglio's Uruguayan philosopher and friend, Methol Ferre, the
literary figure Miguel Angel Asturias, and Enrique Santos
Discepolo, a singer and composer of tangos that decry corruption.
In a prophetic conclusion, the last homily of this volume is an
outline of the roadmap Pope Francis has followed throughout his
papacy: one defined by ongoing love and care for God's people and
that seeks to spread God's merciful anointing to those living on
the margins of life.
