If
knowing someone’s family helps us to know that person, then we must
understand Francis as a son of St. Ignatius to appreciate the sources
of his spiritual fire, and we must look at how the Jesuit saints
lived to fully grasp how Francis strives to live. – From the
introduction
- What
makes Pope Francis tick?
- Where
do his (sometimes unexpected) ideas come from?
- Why
does he often rattle people with what he says?
- What
makes him so different from other popes before him?
- And
why should we care?
All
the Pope's Saints can
help us to discover and develop six virtues of Jesuit spirituality:
secrets to a new, refreshed, and even unpredictable relationship with
God.
This
isn’t just a book about Pope Francis’ spiritual inspiration. As
the first Jesuit pope in history, Francis has brought a radical shift
in focus that stems directly from a long line of Jesuits dating back
to St. Ignatius of Loyola. In All
the Pope’s Saints,
you’ll get to know many Jesuit saints—both famous and not—who
are the Holy Father's heroes and role models.
“Offers
some unique insights into the mind and heart of this Jesuit Bishop of
Rome and introduces us to some of the pope’s best friends.” —Fr.
