Read the inspiring words of Pope Francis to discover the transforming power of faith. Drawing on examples of faith from the Old and New Testaments, as well as examples from his own life of faith at work in the world, Pope Francis demonstrates that faith, like hope, is rooted in love.
On Faith brings us Pope Francis's encouragement to live our faith as individuals and in community.
"True faith is that which makes us more charitable, more merciful, more honest, and more humane. It moves our hearts to love everyone without counting the cost. It spurs us on to live out a culture of encounter, dialogue, respect, and fraternity." --Pope Francis
