Description
Praying with the Popes brings together reflections from twelve modern popes, offering readers a prayerful introduction to Catholic social teaching and the Church’s enduring call to hope, justice, peace, and the dignity of every human person.
Compiled by Shannon Wimp Schmidt and Eileen M. Ponder, with an introduction by Katie Prejean McGrady, the book draws from the writings of popes who guided the Church from 1878 to 2025. Each chapter begins with a brief profile of the featured pope, followed by selected excerpts from his writings and prompts for personal reflection, prayer, and practical action.
From Pope Leo XIII to Pope Leo XIV, these teachings reveal a consistent call to place Christ at the centre of our response to the social, economic, and political challenges of each age. The book encourages readers not only to understand Catholic social teaching, but to live it through greater love, justice, and care for others.
Suitable for personal prayer, parish groups, and those exploring the Church’s social teaching, this collection offers a thoughtful way to engage with the spiritual wisdom of the modern papacy.
A meaningful companion for deeper prayer and faithful Christian action.
