Francis

"Elders from over 30 countries share their wisdom carved from lifetimes of experience. Pope Francis contributes as a fellow elder, offering the preface and his own story in each chapter, while also reflecting on dozens of others' stories"--Provided by publisher.

In this book, questions from children from across the world are presented to Pope Francis -- and the Pope himself answers each letter. All too often, the big spiritual questions from children are ignored or written off as quaint, but Pope Francis helps every child feel God's love and know that their voices are valued and heard. With each question illustrated by the child, Dear Pope Francis lets the Pope respond directly to each child.

Pope Francis met with French reporter and sociologist Dominique Wolton for an unprecedented series of twelve fascinating and timely conversations, open dialogues revolving around the political, cultural, and religious issues dominating communication and conflict around the world, now published here, along with addresses or extracts of addresses given for various occasions during his papacy.

"In this conversation with Vatican reporter Andrea Tornielli, Francis explains -- through memories from his youth and moving anecdotes from his experiences as a pastor -- why 'mercy is the first attribute of God'"--Jacket flap.

Collects twenty-four short writings by Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, providing an introduction for each.
