Encountering
Truth: Meeting God in the Everyday is a compilation of Pope
Francis’s morning homilies from the Vatican chapel, St. Martha’s Chapel, from
March 2013 to May 2014, edited by Father Antonio Spadaro. Pope Francis provides true homilies, not
written speeches, to the ordinary people from a variety of walks of life who
attend the mass. The preface by Father
Spadaro is nearly 50 pages long and provides an informative background on
possible ways to read and understand the spiritual richness of the homilies,
and how to draw a personal encounter with God through them.
Pope Francis’s messages are simple, gospel-centered, sometimes
strong, but always positive too. He proposes what we can do better instead of
telling us what we must do, providing a challenge for us to strive toward. He is truly a compassionate spiritual teacher
of living the spiritual life and living out the gospel. Whether Catholic or Protestant, there is much
here for thought, guidance, and encouragement.
