"A magnificent book, bursting with profound spiritual insights,
from a man who has quickly become one of the greatest spiritual
teachers of our time." --James Martin, SJ, author of "Jesus: A
Pilgrimage"
In the year since he was elected, Pope Francis's simple message of
mercy, service, and renewal has spread to every corner of the
world. Through his gentle demeanor, selfless actions, and welcoming
call for service to others, Pope Francis has captured the attention
of a world longing for an authentic message of hope--we want to
hear what he has to say.
Collected from Pope Francis's speeches, homilies, and papers
presented during the first year of his papacy, "The Church of
Mercy" is the first Vatican-authorized book detailing his vision
for the Catholic Church. From how to be citizens of the world to
answering God's call for evangelization, Pope Francis's deep wisdom
reminds us that the Church must move beyond its own walls and
joyfully bring God's mercy wherever suffering, division, or
injustice exists.
Named TIME Magazine's 2013 "Person of the Year," Pope Francis is
helping the Church continue toward an authentic Christianity that
is faithful to the Gospel and resonant with the world's greatest
needs. "The Church of Mercy" encourages each of us to ignite the
flame within to help share the light of Christ and revitalize the
Church.
