By: Mark K. Shriver     
A down-to-earth and deeply intimate portrait of Pope Francis and his faith, based on interviews with the men and women who knew him simply as Jorge Mario Bergoglio

Early on the evening of March 13, 2013, the newly elected Pope Francis stepped out onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica and did something remarkable: Before he imparted his blessing to the crowd, he asked the crowd to bless him, then bowed low to receive this grace. In the days that followed, Mark K. Shriver—along with the rest of the world—was astonished to see a pope who paid his own hotel bill, eschewed limousines, and made his home in a suite of austere rooms in a Vatican guesthouse rather than the grand papal apartment in the Apostolic Palace. By setting an example of humility and accessibility, Francis breathed new life into the Catholic Church, attracting the admiration of Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

In Pilgrimage, Shriver retraces Francis’s personal journey, revealing the origins of his open, unpretentious style and explaining how it revitalized Shriver’s own faith and renewed his commitment to the Church. To help us understand how Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis, Shriver travels to Bergoglio’s native Argentina to meet with the people who knew him as a child, as a young Jesuit priest, and as a reformist bishop. Shriver visits the confessional where Bergoglio first felt called to a faith-based life and takes us to the humble parish where the future pontiff’s pastoral career began: in a church created from a converted vegetable shed in an area just outside the city of Buenos Aires. In these impoverished surroundings, Bergoglio answered Christ’s call to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless, following the example set by his papal namesake, St. Francis of Assisi.

In this deeply reported yet highly personal book, Mark K. Shriver explores how Francis's commitment has struck a chord in the hearts of millions who long to make faith, love, humility, and mercy part of their lives as they go out into the world to serve and learn from the most marginalized.

Praise for Pilgrimage

“Well-researched . . . Pilgrimage shines a light on [Pope Francis’s] unexplored aspects. . . . A very timely and important addition to the literature on the life and person and thinking of Pope Francis. Everybody interested in Pope Francis will enjoy reading this biography.”The Washington BookReview

“Apt to stir the soul of readers . . . While this is a rich telling of Bergoglio’s life and ascension to the papacy, it is more movingly a spiritual memoir that draws us deep into a knowing of this at once humble and soul-stirring rekindler of faith.”Chicago Tribune

“A fascinating portrait of a man and a nourishing account of spiritual yearning.”Booklist

“This fast-paced and fascinating tale takes us on Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s pilgrimage from his grandmother’s knee in the Italian-Argentine community, through years of success and sorrow in the tumultuous country that he loved, to his surprise election as Pope Francis.”—Cokie Roberts, New York Times bestselling author of Capital Dames: The Civil War and the Women of Washington, 1848–1868 

“All people of good faith, including those whose lives are not guided by religious beliefs, will be inspired and enlightened by the compelling manner in which Pilgrimage brings us closer to the heart and mind of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis. I highly recommend this book; it will make a difference in your life.”—Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap.

Finally a Cleanser That Doesn’t Trigger My Breakouts
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I've been using this facewash twice a day for about a month now and out of all the cleansers I've tried this is definitely one of the few that have not made my acne worse. Usually my skin reacts within a week or two of trying new products but with this product it remained calm while still providing assistance for excess oil and little breakouts on my face. After cleansing with this product, it leaves my skin feeling clean but without that "overdried" feeling which is something that very rarely happens for me. The texture of the product is a thin gel that foams easily after using only a small amount, and it will rinse off completely and leave no residue behind when you're done using it. The product has no noticeable scent and feels extremely gentle even on days when my skin is more irritated or sensitive. The price of this product is slightly higher than some of the other basic drugstore cleansers, but the amount of time I have been able to use this product has been remarkable. If you're someone who wears heavy makeup on a daily basis, you may think that this product is not strong enough or you may feel like it's too gentle; however, it has proven to be a reliable and low-maintenance product for anyone with acne prone/sensitive skin types.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser That Leaves Skin Feeling Clean Without Drying
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I’ve been using the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Facial Cleanser for a bit now, and it’s been a really solid addition to my routine. The cleanser has a light, foaming texture that spreads easily and does a great job removing dirt and oil without being harsh. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, but not tight or overly dry, which is something I’ve struggled with using other face washes. I also appreciate that it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. There’s no strong fragrance, and it hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. It feels like a good balance between being effective and still mild enough for daily use. The bottle is simple and easy to use, and a little goes a long way, so it should last a while.

Gentle, Effective Cleanser With Great Value Refills
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Refill)
Very reliable cleanser with clean formula and refill option. Fragrance-free, and doesn't irritate my skin. Excellent for daily use. The refill bag is a bit hard to navigate though, kind of floppy to pour from, and the cap broke of for me the first time.

Good Option for Sensitive Skin.
Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle), Size: 13.52 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: 13.52 Fl Oz (Bottle)
I've been using this foaming facial cleanser for a few months and overall, I've had a good experience with it so far. I usually use it at night, and I start by removing my makeup with micellar water, then use this cleanser in the shower, followed by moisturizer. One thing I will say is that even though my skin tends to lean oily, this cleanser does leave a bit of a tight, slightly dry feeling on my skin after washing. I wouldn't really describe it as super moisturizing, but it's not a dealbreaker for me since I always follow up with moisturizer and it fixes that feeling right away. It also hasn't caused any irritation or breakouts for me, which is a big plus since I do have sensitive skin. It definitely feels non-greasy and very lightweight. The texture comes out as a gel, but it foams up really easily once you start using it. I also don't notice much fragrance in it, which makes it a good option for sensitive skin overall. Overall, I'd say it's a good product to try out. Just be aware that it can feel a little drying afterward!
