"Pope Francis' Book: Embracing Holiness Over Worldliness"

The Vatican Publishing House LEV has released Pope Francis' new book titled "Holy, not Worldly. God's Grace Saves Us from Interior Corruption." The book includes an article from 1991 on corruption and sin, as well as a letter addressed to the priests of the Diocese of Rome in August 2023. In the book, Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of battling against spiritual worldliness and embracing holiness, which he describes as an incessant desire to remain attached to the cross of Jesus and resist the temptation of self-sufficiency. The book serves as an invitation for reflection on personal and Church life, urging readers to be open to God's newness and to strive for holiness.
