Delecti te

For those tracking Pope Leo’s first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi te, this version includes an incisive introduction and commentary by DePaul scholar and theologian Stan Chu Ilo, who writes: “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.”

A Church Formed by Love includes the full text of 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. The book also includes a foreword by Cardinal Michael Czerny, SJ, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development at the Vatican.
