About this Episode

Pope Francis speaks about the radical remaking of the world, which is only possible when the transformational power of God's love is fully embraced and lived in the relationship between Christ and His Disciples. In the presence of the heart of Christ,Francis asks the Lord to have mercy on this suffering world in which he chose to dwell as one of us, so that our world, which presses forward despite wars, socio-economic disparities and uses of technology that threaten our humanity, may regain the most important and necessary thing of all: its heart.

Each session of Dilexit Nos in a Year begins by breaking open the scriptures and topics covered in order to outline the themes of Pope Francis, and frame our conversations for the weekly discussion for the year ahead. For the next 50 weeks, we will work through four to five paragraphs reading of the text of Dilexit Nos, with opening prayer, and short reflection based upon the paragraphs covered and the prayerful discussions of the questions to ponder together as we reflect on the work of spiritual and communal formation and mission in this Jubilee Year of Hope.
