| Synopsis: |
Each morning Pope Francis says Mass and offers a shorthomily for fellow residents and guests in the chapel of St. Martha'sGuesthouse, where he has chosen to live. Through these accounts of PopeFrancis's morning homilies offered at daily Mass from July to November 2014, itis now possible for those not present to experience and enjoy his unforgettablereflections on the gospel, his lively manner of speaking, and his capacity toengage his listeners and their daily lives with the joy of the gospel message."Each morning since Pope Francis's election, I haveread his beautiful morning homilies, and their publication is something I'velong been anticipating. These homilies--clear, brief, wise, often funny andalways grounded in experience, are my favourite of all of the pope's talks andwritings. It never fails to astonish how Pope Francis can find something new inthese familiar Bible passages, and I hope that his surprising insights willlead you deeper into Scripture and help you encounter God in a new way. Icannot recommend this book highly enough."-James Martin, SJ, author, Jesus: APilgrimage. |
