About this audiobook
“This is not a time to hunker down and lock our doors. I see clearly that the Lord is calling us out of ourselves, to get up and walk.”—From the Foreword by Pope Francis
Drawing on the wisdom of Pope Francis and the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Austen Ivereigh has written a captivating spiritual guide for our turbulent age.
Designed as an eight-day Ignatian retreat, First Belong to God serves as a roadmap to deeper discipleship. It does this by focusing on the three foundational forms of belonging: to God, to creation, and to others.
Structured around the core principles of St. Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises, First Belong to God encapsulates the key aspects of the Francis pontificate:
• the essence of being “God-belonging” entities
• the way God’s mercy challenges our self-reliance
• the journey to building the Kingdom in the footsteps of Christ
• heeding the cry of the earth and the stranger
• striving for fraternity by championing synodality
Whether you’re embarking on a solitary spiritual expedition or a journey with likeminded individuals, First Belong to God offers the next best thing to a personal retreat with Pope Francis: a full-soul immersion into his wisdom via the classic Jesuit retreat that shaped him so profoundly.
