Description: New York : Fordham University Press, 2019. | “This book was originally published in Italian as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Papa Francesco, Nei tuoi occhi è la mia parola: Omelie e discorsi di Buenos Aires.” | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Contents: Volume 1: 1999 to 2004 | Summary: “Pope Francis was a first in many ways: the first pope from the Americas, the first Jesuit, the first Francis, the first child of immigrants from the old world, nurtured and transformed by the new world, and returned to lead the whole world. His eloquent homilies and speeches have inspired the faithful of Argentina for decades, largely through his gift of oratory, tracing back to his time as a bishop, archbishop, and cardinal in his home country. To be published in English for the first time in their entirety and with contextual annotations, In Your Eyes I See My Words, Volume 1, collects his homilies and speeches from 1999 to 2004. Volume II spans from 2005–2008, and Volume III, from 2009–2013, concludes with his prophetic last homily before being elected to the papacy”—Provided by publisher.
