First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis

£15.00

Decades before he was elected pope the Jesuit Fr Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a renowned spiritual director and retreat giver, steeped in the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius. Drawing on many retreat talks he gave in the 1970s-90s, which have never been translated into English, the Pope’s biographer has created a powerful Ignatian retreat that offers a contemplative route into the key teachings and vision of the Francis pontificate.

First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis uses the classic week-long “short form” of the Exercises, linking Ignatius’s famous contemplations with Francis’s call to a synodal, fraternal, and ecological conversion. Each day contains points for reflection taken from Fr Bergoglio’s retreats, as well as guided meditations, Scripture references and suggestions for reading and prayer. First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis can be used as a companion guide either for an individual or group retreat in a formal retreat setting under a director, or by a parish or community over a longer period such as Lent or Advent.
