“Too often, magisterial documents are read only by theologians or clergy, while the laity remain untouched by their transformative potential. But Dilexi te belongs to the whole People of God. It is not a document for the shelves of seminaries but for the hearts of believers.”
—from Stan Chu Ilo’s Introduction to Dilexi te: A Church Formed by Love
This commentary speaks directly to the “hearts of believers,” and to all readers of Pope Leo’s new teaching document. A Church Formed by Love includes the full text of Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi te, on love for the poor, as well as a reading, commentary, and study guide by a wise and profound teacher of scripture and theology, Stan Chu Ilo.
An important text for any Catholic to read, this commentary is essential for interpreting and applying the wisdom of this landmark church document to the Global church.
The book includes a foreword by Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican.
