First belong to God : on retreat with Pope Francis

Books
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' 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, a well as guided meditations, Scripture references and suggestions for reading and prayer.
