This version of The Weekly Francis covers material released in the last week from 8 September 2016 to 5 October 2016.
The Weekly Francis is a compilation of the Holy Father’s writings, speeches, etc which I also post at Jimmy Akin’s The Weekly Francis. Jimmy Akin came up with this idea when he started “The Weekly Benedict” and I have taken over curation of it.

I wonder how quickly everything this pope has said can be thrown into the trash and forgotten after he’s gone the way he has thrown everything Pope Benedict XVI, Pope John Paul II and every pope that came before them has said into the trash?
God bless and may your tourism be sustainable.
Angelus 2 October. Pope Francis asks us to bear witness joyfully to faith, hope, and charity and asks the Mother of God for her protection on everyone.
