Striving for fraternity by championing synodality.
Whether you're embarking on a solitary spiritual expedition or a journey with like-minded individuals, “First
Belong to God” offers the next best thing to a personal retreat with Pope Francis: a full-soul immersion into his
wisdom via the classic Jesuit retreat that shaped him so profoundly.
