This book uses the classic week-long “short form” of the Exercises, linking Ignatius’ famous contemplations with Francis’ call to a synodal, fraternal, and ecological conversion. It can be used as a companion guide for an individual or group retreat in a formal retreat setting under a director, or by a parish or community over a longer period.
Following his critically acclaimed The Great Reformer, Austen Ivereigh's colourful, clear-eyed portrait of Pope Francis takes us inside the Vatican's urgent debate over the future of the church in Wounded Shepherd.
The leader of the Catholic Church discusses what the COVID-19 crisis revealed about the cruelty and inequality of society, what it can teach about handling upheaval, and how to make the world safer, fairer, and healthier for all people. -- Provided by publisher.
A biography of Pope Francis that describes how this revolutionary thinker will use the power of his position to challenge and redirect one of the world's most formidable religionsAn expansive and deeply contextual work, at its heart The Great Reformer is about the intersection of faith and politics--the tension between the pope's innovative vision for the Church and the obstacles he faces in an institution still strongly defined by its conservative past. Based on extensive interviews in Argentina and years of study of the Catholic Church, Ivereigh tells the story not only of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the remarkable man whose background and total commitment to the discernment of God's will transformed him into Pope Francis--but the story of why the Catholic Church chose him as their leader. With the Francis Revolution just beginning, this biography will provide never-before-explained context on how one man's ambitious program began--and how it will likely end--through an investigation of Francis's youth growing up in Buenos Aires and the dramatic events during the Perón era that shaped his beliefs; his ongoing conflicts and disillusionment with the ensuing doctrines of an authoritarian and militaristic government in the 1970s; how his Jesuit training in Argentina and Chile gave him a unique understanding and advocacy for a "Church of the Poor"; and his rise from Cardinal to the papacy.
„Notre monde a besoin d'une vision“, a déclaré un diplomate au pape François. Celui-ci lui a remis son livre, un encouragement fraternel à prendre la responsabilité de nos voisins, de la société et de la vie sur notre planète. Le pape François appelle ici à un monde mieux gouverné, ancré dans l'Évangile du Christ et résistant aux diverses idéologies myopes. Qu'est-ce qu'une crise et comment la surmonter ? Le pape partage d'abord ses trois crises personnelles. Il affirme que si nous avons le courage de changer, nous pouvons sortir de la crise meilleurs qu'auparavant. Il cible ensuite les phénomènes qui aggravent la situation actuelle du monde : la quête du profit sans considération pour des conditions de vie dignes, l'insatiabilité et le mépris des autres, ainsi que les politiques qui répandent la peur pour renforcer leur pouvoir. Selon le pape François, la mission des chrétiens est de servir les gens, en particulier ceux en marge de la société, et il propose des inspirations pour créer des conditions où chacun peut réaliser son potentiel.
