Pope Francis illuminates a new, vibrant way of experiencing the Gospel through moving, intimate and deeply meditative reflections that encourage us to live fully with meaning, purpose, and strength.We live in an unprecedented time that has threatened to upend our daily rhythms, our work, our homes – even our faith. More than ever, we need books like Reflections on the Sunday Gospel to stir us to hope, to comfort, to peace. We need to remember what we live for and how good God is.

These reflections drawn both from homilies given by Pope Francis and readings from the Fathers of the Church, including Saint Augustine, Saint Jerome, and Saint Ambrose – do more than offer a way to enter into the liturgical year with weekly readings to enrich your devotional time. They offer Christ, and the power of his resurrection and they offer his words of assurance.
