Walking with Jesus

There is an unbreakable bond between God’s mercy and his gift of new life which is at the heart of the Gospel. Through the transformation he works in us, his grace can transform the world around us. The Gospel of New Life presents the heart of Pope Francis’ teaching on this theme, arranged and edited as a single book for the first time and with the full approval of the Vatican Publishing House.  CARDINAL VINCENT NICHOLS writes in his Foreword: ‘With irresistible passion Pope Francis denounces a world of abundance where hundreds of millions go hungry and an “industry of destruction” that mercilessly discards as “leftovers” the unemployed, the sick, the terminally ill, the old, and children, both born and unborn. Hope inspires us to cultivate an authentically human ecology that enables every person to enjoy a dignified life.'  ‘The hope with which the Gospel of New Life fills our hearts impels us to be worthy stewards of creation’s fruits. Our mission is to transform the “throw away culture” of “uncontrolled consumerism” into one which cherishes our God-given natural environment. This demands honouring the social dimension of that environment too.’

Study Guide Included for Reflection and Discussion. Addressed not only to Catholics but to every person living on this planet, Pope Francis second encyclical is a challenging call for a bold cultural revolution in how we think about technological progress and economic growth. The degradation of our environment, he says, is a symptom of deeper problems: rapid change, unsustainable overconsumption, indifference to the poor, and the decay of social values. He offers a variety of solutions, including a change in lifestyles away from extreme consumerism and towards a greater sense of social responsibility. For Christians, an ecological spirituality one that is grounded in the convictions of our faith is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience. 
 Drawing on the rich social teachings of the Church, Laudato Si is a groundbreaking document that will be discussed and studied by both believers and non-believers for years to come.

Meditations on the stations of the cross from Pope Francis.

The Way of the Cross with Pope Francis: Meditations on the Stations (English and Spanish Edition)

Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation The Joy of Love: On Love in the Family is appreciated as an aid to reflection, dialogue and pastoral practice, and as a help and encouragement to families in their daily commitments and challenges. This Exhortation is especially timely in this Jubilee Year of Mercy. First, because it represents an invitation to Christian families to value the gifts of marriage and the family, and to persevere in a love strengthened by the virtues of generosity, commitment, fidelity and patience. Second, because it seeks to encourage everyone to be a sign of mercy and closeness wherever family life remains imperfect or lacks peace and joy.

The Joy of Love: On Love in the Family

This brief book, excerpted from the papal exhortation Amoris Laetitia, distills for those about to be married or just marrieds, the essence of the value of a lifelong union and the beauty of the vocation to marriage. And he speaks of the reality of family and of children, who are a living reflection of the couple's love, a permanent sign of their conjugal unity and a living and inseparable synthesis of their being a father and a mother.

Pope Francis Talks to Couples: Wisdom on Marriage and Family

Pope Francis has a special place in his heart for men and women in prison. He was a frequent visitor to prisoners when he lived in Argentina, a practice he continues as Pope. He continues to make phone calls to people imprisoned in Argentina, and he finds time to read and reply to letters written to him from prisoners all over the world. Wherever he travels, Pope Francis makes sure to visit people in prison. After his visits Pope Francis thinks: Why is he there and I am not, seeing that we share the same weaknesses? This is a mystery that makes me pray and makes me draw close to inmates. This is a little book of the thoughts Pope Francis has shared with women and men in prison, and that he wants to share with you, so you have hope and courage.

Tell the Prisoners I Pray for Them: Meditations in English and Spanish (English and Spanish Edition)

Pope Francis dedicated several days to praying and talking with his brother priests on the occasion of the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. These pages capture the Holy Father s intimate thoughts on the love of God, the life of a priest, and the universal call to holiness. His thoughts and prayers are captured in these pages for your reflection. Perhaps it might be best not to read them all the way through, but rather begin with a page and read until a specific thought, image or word strikes you. When it does, stop, put the book down, and invoking the Holy Spirit, spend some time meditating on its meaning in your life and in your service as a priest. Allow this to be your retreat with Pope Francis.
