Encountering Truth

Meeting God in the Everyday





Experience the morning homilies of Pope Francis and witness how, for twelve years, he changed the life of the Catholic Church.

Shortly after seven in the morning, Pope Francis would give a brief homily in the little Vatican chapel of Saint Martha, in front of an audience that was always different: gardeners, office workers, nuns, priests, and journalists. It was a set appointment, and in some ways a revolutionary innovation, where a pope speaks to everyone, off the cuff, without any written text, as he would have done as a parish priest.

Encountering Truth
is a collection of highlights from these homilies. Along with summaries by Radio Vaticana (who recorded and transcribed the homilies) and commentary by Father Antonio Spadaro, SJ, these reflections provide moments of inspiration, simplicity, and a glimpse into the papal world very few ever get to experience.
