Insights from a beloved spiritual leader on everything from forgiveness and faith to mercy and money, from prayer and parenting to tango and soccer

The moment the identity of the newly elected 266th pontiff was revealed, it was clear to the thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square, and to the watching world, that this pope was different in fascinating and exciting ways — the first from Latin America, the first Jesuit, and the first to take the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. Pope Francis repeatedly eschewed the fancy dress, lavish accommodations, and other luxuries of his position, emphasizing pastoral work with the sick and the poor and always seeking to empower the underdog. This revealing collection of his own words, gathered from early sermons, interviews, and the Pope's books, prompts understanding and insight into his way of being and believing — and inspires goodwill, love, and hope.
