Biographies - With the Smell of the Sheep: The Pope Speaks to Priests, Bishops, and Other Shepherds

Description

Book Synopsis: Foreword by Bishop Robert Barron"Pope Francis presents us with a beautiful and inspiring vision of the priesthood. Always, the Pope speaks and writes as a man who loves being a priest and as a priest who lives to bring people to the encounter with the mercy of God." --Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, author, Men of Brave Heart: The Virtue of Courage in the Priestly Life"An absolute gem. I highly recommend it to every bishop, priest, seminarian, and pastoral agent. It offers us profound insights into the mind and heart of the Bishop of Rome, a pastor who truly has the smell of the sheep." --Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB, CEO, Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation

From the first days of his papacy, Pope Francis described his wish for pastors "with the smell of the sheep." In this moving and often intimate volume, consisting of all Pope Francis's addresses to priests and bishops, he shares his vision of the priesthood, ministry, and service to the People of God.

Confiding personal stories from his own ministry and warning against the sins of "self-referentiality," clericalism, careerism, and worldliness, he stresses the importance of mercy, of drawing strength from prayer and intimacy with the Heart of the Good Shepherd. In addition to his addresses to seminarians, bishops, members of the curia and religious orders, he also shares words of compassion with victims of clergy sexual abuse.
