I Ask You, Be Shepherds

Reflections on Pastoral Ministry

By:  Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis – The Pope Francis Resource Library

Translated by:  Michael O’Hearn

Pope Francis has been an engaging, prophetic voice tirelessly calling the church to a simple lifestyle of mercy, witness, and collaboration.  These encouraging reflections offer Pope Francis’s profound and encouraging appeal to everyone serving God’s people today.  The reflections were gathered, and authorized by the Vatican, from Pope Francis’s homilies, speeches, and papers, as well as from the earlier, exclusive edition published when Jorge Bergoglio was Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
