Pope Francis believes that every single action we perform should take us a step closer to God and to our neighbour. The image of 'walking' is central to his teaching for us as individuals and as a Church. Through faith in Jesus we can walk beyond our walls with confidence, reaching out to those we meet on the road and on the very outskirts of human existence where the cries of the poor, the marginalised and the oppressed can be heard.Walking with Jesus presents the heart of his teaching on this theme, arranged and edited as a single book for the first time and with the full approval of the Vatican Publishing House. Like his first book The Church of Mercy, it is indispensable reading for all believers.It includes a Preface by Giuliano Vigini, Professor of the Sociology of Contemporary Publishing at the Catholic University of Milan.
