The joy of being a disciple

A collection of homilies, speeches, and other documents written by Pope Francis, The Joy of Discipleship is a book that moves us to meditate on Christ and inspires us to transcend physical and mental limits, joyfully proclaiming God's transforming love in word and deed. Covering a wide range of themes, the texts address the Resurrection of Christ, Mercy, wealth and poverty, the Christian family, and much more. In this collection, we have the opportunity to witness a testimony of solid faith and the application of the Gospel in every small action. Practicing a benevolent gaze toward others and the joy of serving beyond our vanities is one of the best ways to build a relationship of intimacy and experience the full mercy of Jesus as Savior. This work consists of a collection of homilies, speeches, and other documents carefully selected from Pope Francis's personal archive and edited by renowned author and catechist James P. Campbell. The joy of being a disciple builds a new perspective on why followers of Christ should be so joyful as a priority and how this joy can manifest itself in our daily lives and individual trajectories.
