What would it be like to go on a retreat given by Pope Francis? Author and papal biographer Austen Ivereigh offers the next best thing in his book, First Belong to God: On Retreat with Pope Francis. Join us for a webinar in which Ivereigh will introduce us to his book, which he has designed around the classic eight-day version of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Ivereigh draws on not just the wisdom and teaching of the pontificate, but previously unpublished retreat talks Jorge Mario Bergoglio gave in Argentina. Learn to see Pope Francis as “humanity’s spiritual director,” how the Exercises have shaped this pontificate, and how we can enter into the journey of conversion to which the Pope invites us.
