Morning Homilies IV

Each morning Pope Francis says Mass and offers a short
homily for fellow residents and guests in the chapel of St. Martha's
Guesthouse, where he has chosen to live. Through these accounts of Pope
Francis's morning homilies offered at daily Mass from July to November 2014, it
is now possible for those not present to experience and enjoy his unforgettable
reflections on the gospel, his lively manner of speaking, and his capacity to
engage his listeners and their daily lives with the joy of the gospel message.


"Each morning since Pope Francis's election, I have
read his beautiful morning homilies, and their publication is something I've
long been anticipating. These homilies--clear, brief, wise, often funny and
always grounded in experience, are my favourite of all of the pope's talks and
writings. It never fails to astonish how Pope Francis can find something new in
these familiar Bible passages, and I hope that his surprising insights will
lead you deeper into Scripture and help you encounter God in a new way. I
cannot recommend this book highly enough."-James Martin, SJ, author, Jesus: A
Pilgrimage.
