POPE FRANCIS

Savor the most soul-stirring aspects of Pope Francis' historic visit to the U.S. with this prayerfully crafted collection.

These are the words of Pope Francis himself, addressed to young people preparing for their First Communion.

Thank you God for loving me...thank you that you hear me when I pray. This creative form of prayer has been around for a long time, and is often credited, especially today, to Pope Francis when he was the Archbishop of Argentina.

In the year since he was elected, Pope Francis’s simple message of mercy, service, and renewal has spread to every corner of the world.
