NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Pope Francis illuminates the Lord’s Prayer, the most important prayer in all of Christianity, offering readers a guide to living a life of meaning, purpose and strength. In conversation with Father Marco Pozza, a theologian and prison chaplain in Padua, Italy, Pope Francis offers unprecedented insight into Jesus’s most profound words, as he explores the importance of embracing social justice, benevolence, and forgiveness in our hearts and minds. Looking to address the concerns and hopes of today’s men and women, Our Father: Reflections on the Lord’s Prayer is a guide to living a life full of meaning, purpose, and strength. “We need courage to pray the Our Father,” writes Pope Francis, “to truly believe that God is the Father who accompanies us, forgives us, gives us bread, is attentive to all that we ask, clothes us even better than the flowers of the field. To believe is a big risk.” Challenging this doubt and fear, he issues a call to “dare . . . help oneanother to dare.” With excerpts from some of the Pontiff’s most cherished teachings, this beautiful work offers words of encouragement and inspiration for all who are seeking hope and direction in our often tumultuous world.

Pope Francis illuminates a new, vibrant way of experiencing the Gospel through moving, intimate, and deeply meditative reflections that encourage us to live fully with meaning, purpose, and strength. We live in an unprecedented time that has threatened to upend our daily rhythms, our work, our homes, even our faith. More than ever, we need books like Reflections on the Sunday Gospel to stir us to hope, to comfort, to peace. We need to remember what we live for and how good God is. These reflections—published in English for the first time, drawn both from homilies given by Pope Francis and readings from the Fathers of the Church, including Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, and Saint Ambrose—do more than offer a way to enter into the liturgical year with weekly readings to enrich your devotional time. They offer Christ, and the power of His resurrection. They offer His words of assurance: “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (Jn 16:33, ESV). Ultimately, as Pope Francis guides us through these timeless words, we will glean how even the giants of the faith needed God as much as we do, and how we can draw near to a good and faithful God no matter where we are or what season we’re in.

The earth is the common home of humanity. It is a gift from God. Yet man’s abuse of freedom threatens that home. In his encyclical Praise Be to You (Laudato Si’), Pope Francis challenges all people to praise God for his glorious creation and to work to safeguard her. The encyclical letter takes its name from St. Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures, which depicts creation as “a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us”. “This sister”, Pope Francis declares, “now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her”. He calls for an “integral ecology” based on what Pope St John Paul called an “ecological conversion”—a moral transformation linking the proper response to God for the gift of his creation to concern for justice, especially for the poor. He challenges people to understand ecology in terms of the right ordering of the fundamental relationships of the human person: with God, oneself, other people, and the rest of creation. Francis examines such ecological concerns as pollution, waste, and what he calls “the throwaway culture”. Climate, he insists, is a common good to be protected. He explores the proper use of natural resources and notions such as sustainability from a Judeo-Christian perspective. The loss of biodiversity due to human activities, decline in the quality of life for many people, global inequality of resources, as well as concerns over consumerism and excessive individualism also threaten the good order of creation, writes Pope Francis. While valuing technology and invnovation, he rejects efforts to repudiate the natural order, including the moral law inscribed in human nature or to rely simply on science to solve ecological problems. Moral and spiritual resources are crucial, including openness to God’s purpose for the world. Expounding the biblical tradition regarding creation and redemption in Christ, Francis stresses man’s subordination to God’s plan and the universal communion of all creation. “Dominion”, he maintains, means “responsible stewardship” rather than exploitation. He rejects treating creation as if it were “divine” and insists on the primacy of the human person in creation. He also explores the roots of the ecological crisis in man’s abuse of technology, his self-centeredness, and the rise of practical relativism. Without rejecting political changes, he implores people to change their hearts and their ways of life. Popes Benedict XVI, St John Paul II, and Blessed Paul VI addressed key themes regarding stewardship of God’s creation and justice in the world. But Pope Francis is the first to devote an entire encyclical to the subject.

During his historic visit to the United States in October 2015, Pope Francis encouraged the nation’s bishops to avoid harsh and divisive language, reminding instead that “only the enduring allure of goodness and love remains truly convincing.” These words provide as fine a summary of the Holy Father’s visit (and of Jorge Bergoglio’s papal ministry) as will be found anywhere. In Washington, New York, and Philadelphia, Pope Francis touched the hearts and consciences of Catholics, as well as people of all faiths or no faith, by the power of his gentle witness. The many addresses and homilies offered by the Pope were more than anyone could digest in a few short days. This handy volume gathers all of these texts in a single, inexpensive resource, making them accessible for reflection, study, or prayer by individuals or groups. Included here are his • homily for canonization of St. Junípero Serra • address to the Joint Session of Congress • greeting to a group of homeless people in New York City • address to the United Nations General Assembly • prayer at Ground Zero • extemporaneous address at the Festival of Families • words to victims of sexual abuse • address to inmates at a Philadelphia prison • and much more. This book will serve as a powerful reminder to any reader of “the allure of goodness and love” that America experienced through the presence of Pope Francis.

It will be of interest not only to committed Catholics but also to those of other faiths, and none, who follow world events and wish to be as well informed as possible.

Inspired by thoughts of Pope Francis, "Prayers of Faith and Hope" is a book of Christian prayers, a path woven of serenity and calm, dedicated to those who feel a desire for greater closeness to Jesus and wish to strengthen their communion with God.It is a source for those who wish to abandon narrow and winding roads in favor of broad and bright paths, for those who are seeking inspiration, for those who wish to bring light into a dark room, for those who desire change but are still fearful. For those whose lives are serene, this little book can be like a wish for good, a wish that serenity, peace and perfection can be renewed, day after day, in prayer. The prayers focus on life's journey, family, love and humility, God's presence, faith, affections, the value of today and the strength to overcome the past, serenity and faithfulness in accepting God's will, resentment, forgiveness, patience and strength to endure, hope in suffering, the winter of life and faith in eternal life. A special prayer is dedicated to doctors, nurses and those who care for the health of all of us, especially in this pandemic situation. Each prayer is accompanied by a title that is not meant to be exhaustive but representative, a simple suggestion. Each prayer is preceded by a brief thought spoken by Pope Francis that represents the inspiration of the prayer itself and the inspiration of the day. The prayer path is sixty days long. Some of the prayers are definitely better suited for the day, some were composed with the night in mind, most of the prayers were composed without a time location in the day or night. The length is variable, some prayers are short, they go straight to the heart passing through the mind, they can leave an impression, an inspiration, offer a cue, others, because of their length, become, almost, a reflection in the form of prayer on which to dwell with particular care and let the reading move the feelings making Jesus even closer.Every day, every moment of the day, can be an opportunity to devote oneself to the reading of a prayer and every prayer can become an intention, an inspiration, a motive for inner deepening, a source of reassurance. The underlying desire of the book is that the reading may restore us in Jesus, soothe our worries, lessen our pain, bring light, comfort and spiritual serenity, courage and, above all, a renewed confidence in ourselves, in our neighbor, and a brighter faith in God.As for the format of the book, considering the period in which we live, it is not a pocket format but a standard one, which can find its small space on a bedside table.Father, help me to see myself resting in the palm of your hand, to remember that just as you breathed into me the breath of life so you will sustain me, always, along my path. Give me the strength to accept what will happen and that You have chosen for my growth and my path. Let me see, in the weight of every pain, a blessing sent by You, not to be pushed away. May every wound in my heart open the way to a blessing. May every thankless work form my character, may every adversity strengthen my soul, may every pain, endured with faith and patience, enrich my life. Courageously and confidently, help me to grow to love and accept Your creation and all my brothers and sisters. For this, I pray. Amen.
