Description
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 Saint Ignatius’ 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
Whether you’re embarking on a solitary spiritual expedition or a journey with like-minded individuals, the book offers the next best thing to a personal retreat with Pope Francis: a full-soul immersion into his wisdom via the classic Jesuit retreat that shaped him so profoundly.
