Archbishop Henning’s message following the release of the Holy Father’s Apostolic Exhortation, <i>Dilexi te</i>

Today, Pope Leo offered a meditation on the mystery of the Lord’s particular love for the poor and the summons for all disciples to participate in His compassion and solidarity by our own embrace of those who are poor in any sense of that term.

United with the witness of Pope Francis, Our Holy Father Leo XIV has offered a gospel vision of faith hope and love in a time of violence and division. I encourage all of us to make this important reflection a part of our own spiritual reading.

The Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi te, may be found here.

New Mass For The Care of Creation

New Mass For The Care of Creation

The Vatican recently announced that a new formulary of prayers and biblical readings for the Mass will be added to the Roman Missal “for the care of creation.”

In his homily, the pope called for ecological conversion while drawing from the legacy of Pope Francis and his encyclical “Laudato Si’, on Care for Our Common Home.”

“We must pray for the conversion of many people, inside and outside of the church, who still do not recognize the urgency of caring for our common home,” Pope Leo XIV said while celebrating the new formulary of the Mass earlier this week in the gardens of the papal villa in Castel Gandolfo, the traditional summer residence of the popes some 15 miles southeast of Rome.
