With his words and actions, Francis I caused a substantial change within the Church. He received an enormous popular support throughout the world and was named the Person of the Year and as the Most Powerful Person by magazines such as Time, Forbes and The New Yorker, among others. The increasing anecdotes about his humility and simple character match his actions and make it clear that the reform he proposes is not a purely figurative one.

Outlines the significant influences that have led Cardinal Kasper to call Francis a pope leading a radical revolution of tenderness and love radical because it is rooted in the gospel.

“In the heart of this world, the Lord of life, who loves us so much, is always present. He does not abandon us, he does not leave us alone, for he has united himself definitively to our earth, and his love constantly impels us to find new ways forward. Praise be to him!” – Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ In his second encyclical, Laudato Si’: On the Care of Our Common Home, Pope Francis draws all Christians into a dialogue with every person on the planet about our common home. We as human beings are united by the concern for our planet, and every living thing that dwells on it, especially the poorest and most vulnerable. Pope Francis’ letter joins the body of the Church’s social and moral teaching, draws on the best scientific research, providing the foundation for “the ethical and spiritual itinerary that follows.” Laudato Si’ outlines: The current state of our “common home” The Gospel message as seen through creation The human causes of the ecological crisis Ecology and the common good Pope Francis’ call to action for each of us Our Sunday Visitor has included discussion questions, making it perfect for individual or group study, leading all Catholics and Christians into a deeper understanding of the importance of this teaching.

An explicit explanation of a powerful prayer method, this book is also a timely reminder of the history and tactics of Masonic revolutions which spread throughout the last three centuries. It focuses on the only remedy to deliver Church and country from the strangleholds of the "wicked" groups whose ideologies infiltrated the Church and government in Palau's Spain, which resulted in the reign of rampant hedonism and immorality. The Church in Spain was silenced by government, while cooperating Church officials became complicit in the societal chaos. Rioting, looting, church burning and ransacking, forced church closures, denial of the Sacraments to the Faithful-- even the murder of priests and nuns-- were commonplace. It is our hope that contemporary souls will understand the parallel of Palau's day to our own, and once again "engage in this glorious fight, so desperately needed," to accomplish this "impossible task" of saving Church and country from nothing less than destruction. In Palau's words: Even if no more than one soul succeeds in accomplishing this task-even if that one soul be you--we would consider our efforts very well paid indeed. May the grace of God be with you. Amen

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
