"I want the Church to go out onto the streets, I want us to resist everything worldly, everything static, everything comfortable, everything that might make us closed in on ourselves."-Pope Francis, World Youth Day 2013
Pope Francis has been called the "pope of the people" as he captures minds and hearts with his joyful faith, with his warm, direct and loving attention to those he meets, and with his attention to the poor and needy.
Now you can start - or finish - every day encouraged by the same engaging spirit alive in these 365 short meditations written by Pope Francis.
Let his words inspire and challenge you, push you deeper into Scripture, raise your prayer to new heights, or simply fill you with gratitude for God's personal love for you.
Join Pope Francis and let the flame of faith catch fire within you, as it slowly catches fire across the world.

Each day you'll find new insights, helpful questions, and life-shaping advice from the Holy Father. It's the next best thing to talking with him on the phone." - Brandon Vogt, author and Content Director at Word on Fire Catholic Ministries
"What happens when you combine the words of Pope Francis and daily time in prayer? Powerful life-changing moments! I highly recommend Through the Year with Pope Francis.
