Description

This inspiring, faith-filled book assists us in discovering (or rediscovering) the gift of Reconciliation in our lives. Featuring Sofia Cavalletti’s never-before-published insights based on her deep biblical and pastoral background, along with a compilation of Pope Francis’ hope-filled words, it offers a uniquely positive vision of this sacrament as a personal experience of the boundless mercy and tenderness of God. Sofia Cavalletti and Pope Francis share a passionate dedication to delving into the depths of God’s infinite tenderness offered in Reconciliation. They provide glimpses of the beauty in this sacrament against the vast horizon of God’s plan of love and of the gift of Reconciliation that many have yet to experience. Amid our hectic lives, this beautiful book offers a moment of stillness – an unexpected grace that we can carry with us wherever we go.

 

“The wisdom of Sofia Cavalletti and Pope Francis encourages
readers to rediscover and recognize the healing power of God’s love.”
—Dr. Josephine Lombardi, from the Foreword
