First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis -- Austen Ivereigh, Paperback
"This is not a time to hunker down and lock our doors. I see clearly that the Lord is calling us out of ourselves, to get up and walk." --From the Foreword by POPE FRANCIS Drawing on the wisdom of Pope Francis and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Austen Ivereigh has written a captivating spiritual guide for our turbulent age. Designed as an eight-day Ignatian retreat, First Belong to God serves as a roadmap to deeper discipleship. It does this by focusing on the three foundational forms of belonging: to God, to creation, and to others. Structured around the core principles of St. Ignatius's Spiritual Exercises, First Belong to God encapsulates the key aspects of the Francis pontificate:
- the essence of being "God-belonging" entities
- the way God's mercy challenges our self-reliance
- the journey to building the Kingdom in the footsteps of Christ
- heeding the cry of the earth and the stranger
- striving for fraternity by championing synodality
