Descubre la inspiradora historia de un hombre que, contra todo pronóstico, cambió el rostro de la Iglesia Católica con su humildad, fortaleza y fe.
Francisco: El primer papa latinoamericano te ofrece una mirada única a la vida de un lÃder que transformó la esperanza de millones.
Este libro es una biografÃa fascinante de Jorge Mario Bergoglio, el hombre sencillo que pasó de recorrer las calles de Buenos Aires en metro a convertirse en el Papa Francisco, uno de los hombres más influyentes de nuestros tiempos. A través de estas páginas, comprenderás cómo su profundo compromiso con la oración y el servicio a los demás lo guió para enfrentar enormes desafÃos en la Iglesia Católica, desde los escándalos eclesiásticos hasta la pérdida de confianza entre los fieles.
Revive los momentos históricos que marcaron su trayectoria, como la inesperada renuncia de Benedicto XVI, un hecho sin precedentes en más de 600 años, y cómo Francisco asumió un papado cargado de responsabilidades, encontrando fuerza en los valores de sencillez y cercanÃa. Esta obra te llevará desde su valiente decisión de renunciar a una posible elección en 2005 hasta su proclamación como el primer papa latinoamericano. Más allá de los titulares, descubrirás al hombre de carne y hueso, al teólogo brillante, y al lÃder espiritual que no temÃa viajar en autobús ni acercarse al pueblo con un mensaje de reconciliación.
Está la Iglesia viviendo un renacimiento? Francisco explora esta pregunta mientras ofrece un retrato Ãntimo y esperanzador de un papado que ha tocado el corazón de millones. Si buscas inspiración, fe y una historia que refleje el poder de la transformación y la humildad, este libro es justo lo que necesitas.
FranciscoFirst Jesuit. First Latin American. And a new pope who chose as his first act a simple request: please pray for me.
The recent resignation of Pope Benedict XVI took the world by surprise, and for good reason. More than 600 years had passed since a pope last left his post.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, is a man of prayer, a man of action and a humble man who has always promoted others over himself. In fact, it was Bergoglio who bowed out of the running in the papal election of 2005 to facilitate the rise of Benedict XVI.
However, the new pope faces a Catholic Church in crisis--a church that has lost the media pull of John Paul II and is still hounded by pedophile scandals and the filtration of documents from former papal administrations. His first year may not be an easy one but neither this man nor the church itself has ever shied away from the challenges thrust upon them.
Pope Francis is austere and simple but has vast theological training. He is a man of his time but one who also travels by subway and bus just like any other citizen. Tirelessly fighting poverty and marginalization, he is a beacon of hope for the poor, persecuted sectors of the church. Has a Catholic spring finally arrived after this very long winter?
Francisco: El primer papa latinoamericano is the complete biography of a humble man who has suddenly become one of the most powerful and influential men on the planet.
