Excellent book of meditations. I am recommending it to all Pope Francis lovers and to all who like a deeper look at Sunday Gospels. It is appropriate and lends to deeper reflection and a more concrete Christian living.

“The Infinite Tenderness of God:Meditations on the Gospels: Pope Francis” is a compilation of some of Pope Francis’ reflections and meditations on the four gospels. There are 60 meditations and reflections that come from 60 different homilies that Pope Francis has given on different gospel passages.
Some of the themes of the meditations include the following: The Faith of the Virgin Mary; the good example of St. Joseph; God’s constant presence in our lives; our encounter with Jesus Christ; the importance of Jesus in our families; God’s ability to heal us spiritually; the importance of God’s word in the Bible; the desire that Jesus has to save everyone; the compassion that Jesus has on people; the ability of Jesus to change and transform us; the opportunity to turn to Jesus for help and our calling to help others; and many other themes associated with the gospels.
In some cases, Pope Francis summarizes the gospel passage before he offers a reflection or a way of applying the gospel passage to today’s world. His reflections and meditations are inspirational and instructive as they encourage us to live the gospel message of love, forgiveness and service of others. His reflections reinforce the importance of faith, hope and love. They reinforce the calling of Christians to imitate and follow Jesus Christ in all that we say and do.
For many years, the gospels have been a source of strength and grace for countless individuals. They have given hope and inspiration to many people, and they have had a positive effect upon society and the world. They encourage meditation and reflection, and can be even more inspiring when they are discussed and talked about. This book adds to the excellent collection of writings about the four gospels that people have talked about and discussed.
When reading this book, a person could read a reflection everyday or read multiple reflections a day. There are different ways to approach this book. It is also a book that a person could utilize as a reference that could be read periodically more than once.
I would recommend this book for any Christian or person of good will who is seeking to get closer to God.
