What can Pope Francis’ personal experience of Mary teach us? In down to earth, straighttalking language Pope Francis shares his approach to devotion to Mary, our loving Mother. He advises us to take a number of honest and practical steps to enrich our lives and our relationship with God by honouring Mary. The author discusses praying the rosary, opening our heart to Jesus, Our Lady Untier of Knots (Pope Francis’ favourite devotion), and Mary’s three lessons for a happy life.
What can Pope Francis’ personal experience of God’s forgiveness teach us? Through his characteristically straight-talking language, we discover Pope Francis’ approach to forgiveness: God’s infinite love for us and our love for others through our forgiveness of them. The author advises us to take a number of honest and practical steps to enrich our lives and our relationship with God by meditating on God’s mercy. He examines how the Church treats sin and sinners, and provides Pope Francis’ guide to making a good confession. With a foreword by Bishop Patrick O’Donoghue.
Twelve famous Old Testament passages draw out the boundless mercy of God, thus revealing his true nature and challenging popular misconceptions about God and the Bible. From Adam and Eve, Joseph, the Exodus, Jonah, King David, and many others, to the cries of the Prophets, we are re-acquainted with this mercy time and time again. Pope Francis calls us to return to the scriptures and to divine mercy. This text will be especially helpful to those who have limited knowledge of the Scriptures and open up for them just how prominent the reality of God’s mercy is in the scriptures.
