"The clock is ticking, and all life is in danger, yet we still have time. . . . So let us take the first steps and go out to encounter the other—those who are different from us. Let us put our hands, minds, and hearts into working together. Let us be the change we want to see in the world."—Pope Francis

In this challenging and evocative book, Pope Francis reflects on ten vital issues the world is facing today, encompassing his hopes and dreams for the Church and for all of humankind.

Among other prayers, Pope Francis is asking in the name of God

• for the media to reject fake news and renounce hateful language
• for a stop to the madness of war
• for the welcome 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. This unflinching and inspiring book is a catalyst of change to usher in a new age more beautiful than we can imagine.
