Only a little over a year into his papacy, Pope Francis is being hailed by the news media, Christians and non-Christians alike as a refreshing figure in the Vatican. His humility, piousness and forward-thinking ideas have been celebrated around the world. REFLECTIONS FROM POPE FRANCIS features brief excerpts for reflection from Pope Francis' homilies, speeches and addresses - along with invitation to prayer, writing and action in a unique “journal style” book with space on each page for the reader to write down their own reflections on the powerful messages contained within each page. Complete with a focusing statement and scripture passages that introduce and summarise the theme of that page's reflection, these excerpts highlight important themes for humanity - such as care for the poor, mercy, forgiveness and brotherhood.
