CIUDAD DEL VATICANO (CNS) — Servir a la vida cuidando a los demás es “la ley suprema” que precede a todas las normas de la sociedad, afirmó el Papa León XIV.
“Imitando el ejemplo de Jesús, el Salvador del mundo, también nosotros estamos llamados a llevar consuelo y esperanza, sobre todo a quienes experimentan desánimo y decepción”, dijo antes de rezar el Ángelus con miles de visitantes reunidos en la plaza frente a la villa de verano papal de Castel Gandolfo el 13 de julio.
Addressing the faithful gathered for his Sunday Angelus on July 6, Pope Leo offered a reflection on the missionary nature of the Church, grounded in the Gospel of Luke.
The guiding principle of love extolled by Jesus cuts through confusion around how to uphold God’s commandments to humanity, Pope Francis said.
Pope Francis called again for “an immediate cease-fire on all fronts” in the Middle East, urging leaders to “pursue the paths of diplomacy and dialogue to achieve peace.”
While people can get caught up in the pursuit of power and greatness, Jesus teaches that true power is found in the humility of being a servant to the most vulnerable, Pope Francis said.
It is not enough to know about Jesus, one must encounter Him, be changed by His Gospel, and follow Him, Pope Francis said.
