"The clock is ticking, all life is in danger, but we are on time...Let's take the first step and go to meet the other, the different. Let's put hands, mind and heart to work together. Let's change the world."—Pope Francis

In his most challenging and evocative book yet, I'm Asking in the Name of God is Pope Francis’s reflections on ten vital issues the world is facing today. This unflinching and inspiring work celebrates the tenth anniversary since Francis' papal election and is an all-encompassing book of his hopes and dreams for the Church and the world.
Amongst other prayers, Pope Francis is asking in the name of God:

• for a communication rejecting fake news and renouncing the language of hate
• to put a stop to the madness of war
• for the welcoming of migrants and refugees
• for the eradication of the culture of abuse from within the Church

This isn't just a world leader's reflections on spirituality. I Am Asking in the Name of God is a wake-up call for all of humanity, a practical path toward unity, and a lighthouse of hope in the darkest of eras. Pope Francis' newest book will be a catalyst of change to usher in a new age of a world more beautiful that we can imagine.

POPE FRANCIS is the first Latin American to be elected to the chair of Peter. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he was ordained as a priest in 1969. He served as head of the Society of Jesus in Argentina from 1973 to 1979. In 1998 he became the archbishop of Buenos Aires, and in 2001 a cardinal. Following the resignation of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, on February 28, 2013, the conclave elected Bergoglio, who chose the papal name Francis in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi.
Hernán Reyes Alcaide (Buenos Aires, 1983) is senior correspondent in Rome  for the national Argentinian press agency Télam. In 2017 he published Latinoamérica (Planeta), the first ever book of conversations between a Pope and a South American journalist, that was acknowledged as a work of special interest by the Mercosur Parliament and by the Buenos Aires legislature.
