HOPE, UNFAILING: POPE FRANCIS’S LAST BOOK, TO BE PUBLISHED IN ENGLISH IN FALL, 2026

Pope Francis' final thoughts - available in English for the first time this Fall 2026

GREENWICH, CT, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hope, Unfailing, the final book written by Pope Francis will be published in English and distributed this Fall 2026 by Measure Publishing LLC. The inspired words and observations of Pope Francis, who died in 2025, were originally published in Italian (La Speranza non delude mai). The new edition is a beautifully realized 176-page book including an 8-page insert with photos of the Pontiff and a wealth of quotations and citations that illuminate his brightly eloquent message of optimism.

Arguing that hope is the anodyne to despair, a particularly modern affliction, Pope Francis shepherded all men toward a pilgrimage of hope, marking what he believed would be a rebirth of humanity in an age marked by instability, catastrophe, widespread fear, a backdrop of wars, poverty, famine, environmental disasters, and social order upheaval – conditions that Francis held must never render us passive, insular, or resigned, observed the book’s publisher Steve Acunto.

“Pope Francis held that hope is before us in its many manifestations, discoverable, if we seek to be strengthened by it: he said hope is present in the face of a woman carrying a new life in her womb, in the face of a poor person still believing in the future, of a refugee searching for a better tomorrow, or in the face of a soldier or of a civilian who prays for the soldier’s safe return home, or in a pensioner and a child, walking hand and hand, free and safe”, he stated.

“For Pope Francis hope is the message for our age and may be a source for serious reflection on the family, on education, on our social political and economic outlook, on geopolitics and migration, on our human ecology, our climate, our use of technologies including AI, and, ultimately upon peace, ours personally joined to that of the world”, Mr. Acunto concluded, adding: “. In Hope, Unfailing, Pope Francis leads us through his spiritual thought processes, engaging us in his special energy and divinely inspired vision that will move us along life’s paths in hope, where despair might otherwise reign.”
