[Sundaycommunity] Book by Pope Francis

[Mary Lou Jorgensen-Bacher]

Dear Brian, HELLO - 
Where could I get a copy of this book?  At INDIGO (Yonge/Eglinton Centre?  Or at a religious bookstore?  I would very much like to get a copy of the book - for my reading in the future, and JUST to have it - I will read the inside of the book cover! - and more when I have the time.
How is Mary Lou doing?  She has had a Mass, so her mind is not slowed down at all, but the physical sides to it, might be a bit taxing - for BOTH of YOU.  What happened to her?  I was speaking to a friend of mine, from Taproot, and she is on two pills, plus vitamins.  I guess this is what happens to us, when we get older.  (She is a very wise woman!)  How are YOU, Mary Lou? 
God does have a sense of Humour.  I do love my body (which had a brain haemorrhage, 1974 - unconscious for 8 weeks time, in hospital for 7 months, and in intensive care for 6 weeks time), I have a good body - helping me in ALL ASPECTS of life - but I Don't Know if "I WILL BE HERE" tomorrow or not - it is all in the MYSTERY's hands.  I think that I was given a good body, to help when I was hit by a brain haemorrhage.  I don't know why I was given a brain haemorrhage - there is no history of it in my family. How do you see it Mary Lou?  Why were you given your bodily functions, stopping and then restarting?  What happened to you?
I love you both, I really DO!!!!!!!  Please do reply to this message!,

 Hi everyone,
I recently came across a new book written by Pope Francis. Actually, the Title page says it was written "In conversation with Austen Ivereigh". The book was published during the past year and is entitled: "Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future."  (I'm attaching a scanned copy of the book cover.)
The book is an easy and gentle read, and I'm finding it interesting because it is written during our current pandemic and addresses so many of the issues that people have been facing, from the fear of the virus, to the many social restrictions that have been put in place, to our hopes and dreams for what the future might look like.  It also touches on other burning issues of the day: poverty, racism, genocide, the climate and our damaged Earth.
Here's a brief paragraph from page 36, just to give you some of the flavour of the book:'In every personal "Covid," so to speak, in every "stoppage," what is revealed is what needs to change: our lack of internal freedom, the idols we have been serving, the ideologies we have tried to live by, the relationships we have neglected.  What is the greatest fruit of a personal Covid? I'd say patience, sprinkled with a healthy sense of humor, which allows us to endure and make space for change to happen."
I'm enjoying reading the book and am finding encouragement and inspiration in it.
Best wishes to all,Brian
