Summary:
"A collection of homilies, speeches, and 'messages of the day' that brings together Pope Francis's wisdom on finding
happiness
in the here and now. For Pope Francis, the appreciation of our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us an essential part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers, in warm, engaging language accessible to believers and nonbelievers alike, a key lesson, instructing readers on finding love and
happiness
in a chaotic world. Along the way, Pope Francis discusses the sanctity of women's rights, talks about how the love of sports can bring out our best qualities, and explains why fighting discrimination is the essence of loving thy neighbor. He shares personal stories and anecdotes from his
life
, provides comforting messages of hope, and discusses the ways flawed families can make you a better person. The core ideas of Francis's papacy - mercy, support for marginalized people, and diplomacy - shine through."--Provided by publisher.
