I Ask You, be Shepherds: Reflections on Pastoral Ministry

Pope Francis has been an engaging, prophetic voice tirelessly calling the church to a simple lifestyle of mercy, witness, and collaboration. This new volume in the Pope Francis Resource Library contains the gems from the Pope’s reflections on pastoral and priestly ministry. Authorized by the Vatican, the texts are collected from Pope Francis’s homilies, speeches, and papers during the first two years of his papacy, as well as from the earlier, exclusive edition published when he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires. I Ask You, Be Shepherds offers Pope Francis’s profound and encouraging appeal to everyone serving God’s people today.
