Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the archbishop of Manila, has emerged in recent years as an important voice of the Asian Church. In this autobiographical work, Cardinal Tagle, with openness and frankness, freely shares his thoughts on religious pluralism, social justice, an ethic of ecology, and the challenges facing the church in the 21st century. His deep commitment to the poor and his ardent faith in the gospel message shine throughout these memories and reflections.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle offers one of the most inspiring and influential voices in the global Catholic Church today. In Telling the Story of Jesus, he encourages readers to be in communion with Jesus, who is the story of God. The cardinal tells us that this communion is found in the Eucharist as well as among the lost, the tired, and the abandoned people of this world. In this collection of powerful addresses, Tagle focuses on three fundamental dimensions of Christian experience: authentic spiritual worship of Jesus in and beyond Eucharist, our communion in the word of God, and the mission each one of us has to tell the story of Jesus based on our experience of him. Cardinal Tagle combines biblical narration and personal experience with sound theological reflection so that the story of Jesus becomes a story of love that leads to hope for the poor, for the church, and for the life of the entire world.

This volume presents selected lectures on pastoral, theological, and mission themes by Cardinal Tagle, the Archbishop of Manila, a leader in the Asian Church, and a key figure in promoting Pope Francis's vision for the church.
