In order to become authentic human progress – that is, progress for the whole person and for all people – technical and scientific progress must be inspired and guided by charity. #GeneralAudience 1/2

As the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace draft their Chapter Act in Nottingham, Pope Leo XIV’s message at today’s General Audience (Sept. 16) echoes deeply: as a "community of persons," we are called to build a more just and humane world together. #GeneralChapter #GeneralAudience

[Posted 08/12/26] The liturgical year is not simply a commemoration of events from the past, but the living presence of Christ, who continues the work of salvation in his Church and guides us to an encounter with Him. #GeneralAudience

[Posted 08/05/26] Today we turn our attention to the ecclesial dimension of the Church’s liturgical prayer. Far from avoiding the world and its needs, all prayer, especially in the entire liturgy, is the essential dimension of our humanity. #GeneralAudience

[Posted 05/27/26] For centuries, the liturgy has been a driving force for evangelization. Today, we need to renew this energy in continuity with the authentic and living Catholic tradition, that is, according to a dynamic aimed at introducing believers to the fullness of truth. #GeneralAudience
