For Christians, the poor are not a sociological category, but the very ‘flesh’ of Christ. Christ, poor and crucified, continues to allow Himself to be encountered and loved through these men and women, who call us to go beyond ourselves and to dare to practice charity. #ApostolicJourney #France

To savor God’s closeness and human fraternity, we must reject desires that consume our relationships without giving anything in return or filling us with things that cannot nourish us. #ApostolicJourney #France 1/3

We pray that you will remove all the obstacles that still separate us from your beloved Son. May He may reign in all hearts. Amen. #ApostolicJourney #France

With pastoral tenderness and fraternal charity, we must recognize, welcome, and protect the small flame that the Holy Spirit has kindled in the darkness of the night. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/events/…

The Gospel of Jesus does not lead to conflict, but always invites us to forgive. While shedding light on the drama of history, it fosters fraternal concern. #ApostolicJourney #France 1/2

Those who live with God strive for what is best. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/events/…

Encountering Christ opens the way to dialogue and prepares us for His peace, for it offers every man and woman the greatest promise, the one that fulfills our every desire, namely the promise of eternal life. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/events/…

The Christian community is not a refuge into which we withdraw in order to protect ourselves from our age. On the contrary, like the cathedrals of old, the Church is a place of welcome, respect, revelation, and meaning for everyone. #ApostolicJourney #France 1/2

Among the challenges facing the worlds of science and education today, I would draw particular attention to those arising from the vast field of technology. #UNESCO #ApostolicJourney #France 1/2

Our efforts in this domain must ensure that new technologies remain at the service of the human person, rather than becoming yet another instrument of domination and injustice. @UNESCO #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/events/…

If we are to avoid losing our humanity amid a “paradise of machines” invading and conditioning our daily lives, there is an urgent need for education in ethical discernment and the capacity to acknowledge the moral good. #ApostolicJourney #France 1/2

This is indispensable if we are to recognize the genuine good that enables human beings to flourish in accordance with their primordial vocation, with unconditional respect for their interior freedom and their sacred dignity. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/events/…

I give thanks for the abundant witnesses of faith and charity I have experienced on this #ApostolicJourney to #Spain.

No matter where we come from, God’s love knows no borders, makes no distinctions, is given to all, and brings us together in unity. #ApostolicJourney

[Posted 06/11/26] Let us remember that we are the living presence of the Lord in the world. Enkindled by the charity of Christ's Heart, let us bear witness to His mercy and peace, so that wars may cease in the world and a new humanity may rise up around us, reconciled in love. #ApostolicJourney
