I recently finished reading this for a year but will continue to use this book as part of my morning meditations. It captures many good quotations from Pope Francis and often adds good questions or suggestions for living the quotes.

I've been reading this wonderful daily devotional since the first of the year for the Year of Mercy. Poppa Francisco each day has a excerpt from a talk (homily, general audience etc) and a reflection and call to action based on Jesus' life, death and resurrection. Very gentle, heart provoking and encouraging way to start my day. Keep it by my bed to read first thing in the morning. It's changing my way of looking at God's mercy and how I should show mercy
