Homily of Pope Leo XIV

Dear brother Cardinals and Bishops,
Dear brothers and sisters!

Today we renew the beautiful custom, on the occasion of the Commemoration of all the faithful departed, of celebrating the Eucharist in memory of the Cardinals and Bishops who left us during the past year, and we offer it with great affection for the elected soul of Pope Francis, who passed after opening the Holy Door and imparting the Easter Blessing to Rome and the world… Read more »

Homily of Pope Leo XIV

On this Solemnity of All Saints, it is a great joy to include Saint John Henry Newman among the Doctors of the Church, and, at the same time, on the occasion of the Jubilee of the World of Education, to name him, together with Saint Thomas Aquinas, as co-Patron of the Church’s educational mission. Newman’s impressive spiritual and cultural stature will surely serve as an inspiration to new generations whose hearts thirst for the infinite, and who, through research and knowledge, are willing to undertake that journey which, as the ancients said, takes us per aspera ad astra, through difficulties to the stars… Read more »

Homily by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV

Dear brothers and sisters,

Above all, it is a gift because to go on a pilgrimage, to pass through the Holy Door, reminds us that life makes sense only when it is lived as a journey, when it knows how to keep moving forward, that is, when it is capable of making the reality of Easter present… Read more »

Catechesis 7. To hope is not to know. Nicola Cusano

“You have reached the goal of your pilgrimage,” Pope Leo told pilgrims at Saturday’s Jubilee Audience, “but now, like the disciples of Jesus, we must learn to dwell in a new world.”

The Holy Father reminded them that “The Jubilee has made us pilgrims of hope precisely for this reason: everything must now be seen in the light of the Crucified One… Read more »
