Speră

Hope is a memoir by Pope Francis (born Jorge Mario Bergoglio). It was first published by Random House on 14 January 2025 (three months before his death), with the publisher describing it as the first memoir ever published by a sitting pope. The book is based on notes from interviews that Francis conducted with the Italian journalist Carlo Musso over six years. Francis discusses his childhood in Buenos Aires, the conclave that elected him pope, and his direction of the church after his election.
