I miss Pope Francis also. Been invited to go to mass by a friend. So I will go. The Catholic Church is installing a new priest here in Coffeyville, Kansas.

I miss Pope Francis too. At the same time I feel that his love is continuing through Pope Leo.

The charism of discernment has become really important to me. I've learned a lot from it. Also, I was one of the editors of the Dear Pope Francis book! I work for Loyola Press.

Beautiful reflection on Francis.

"Contemplative action " comes to mind.

I would add that during those Saturday morning meetings between Francis and Cardinal Prevost, some of the Ignatian spirituality surely rubbed off on the Augustinian !!
