Let Us Dream by Austen Ivereigh, Pope Francis

5.0

This is going to be one I come back to and I think this could be a powerful read for anyone, Catholic or not.

Pope Francis looks at the weaknesses in our world that have been exacerbated by COVID-19 and speaks specifically on how we can do better.

The first section discusses how to see these weaknesses and our downfalls, to notice where we could do better. The second section talks a little about his experiences working with groups and how to hear the people most deeply affected by problems in the world. The third section specifically talks about issues like economics, migration, the death penalty, technology, abortion, politics and how all these issues should be viewed through a lens of re-humanizing people and ensuring everyone’s dignity.

This was a stressful read (since we’re still in the middle of a pandemic and these are massive problems) but was absolutely worth it.
