A collection of early public writings by the future Pope Leo XIV will be published this fall for the first time in English.
Freedom Under Grace: Reflections on the Spiritual Tradition That Formed Me is scheduled for Sept. 15, according to Image Books, an imprint of the Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Group.
Released in Italian by the Vatican Publishing House earlier this year, Freedom from Grace features homilies, addresses and other works by Robert Prevost, when he was prior general of the Order of Saint Augustine from 2001 to 2013.
"Each chapter is a window into the spiritual depth and vision of the man who would eventually become Pope Leo, with an urgent message of love and service to address the challenges of the world today," Campbell Wharton, senior vice president and publisher of Penguin Random House Christian, said in a statement Wednesday. "It’s a book for any Catholic, but also any Christian or spiritual seeker looking for guidance and hope for living a life that transforms the world."
