Papa León XIV

Pope Leo XIV reported that, during a recent check-up, doctors found a localized nodule in his lung, in a very early stage. He said that the doctors deemed it appropriate to intervene and that, following their advice, he had decided to undergo surgery in the coming days. He also thanked for the expressions of spiritual closeness and asked for prayers for him. #Salud #Oración #Esperanza (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that the war in Ukraine continued to cause suffering beyond its borders, especially in poorer countries, where many people depended on grain imports. He appealed to the conflicting parties to ensure the safe transport of grain across the Black Sea and maintained that the livelihoods of millions of people should not be subject to war. #Ucrania #Guerra #Cereales (translated)

Pope Leo XIV wrote that in the passage from the Gospel of Matthew 22:1-14, Jesus spoke of a wedding banquet organized by a king for his son. As he pointed out, the celebration represented that of the faithful, and the banquet hall included churches, homes, and places where they lived, where Jesus Christ returned every day to express his love to them and awaited their response. #Evangelio #Jesucristo #Fe (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that the death penalty was inadmissible because it violated the inviolability and dignity of individuals. He added that the common good and the demands of justice could be protected without resorting to it, since, as he wrote, there were already effective penitentiary systems in place that safeguarded citizens without completely eliminating the possibility of redemption for the guilty. #NoDeathPenalty #PenaDeMuerte #DerechosHumanos #Justicia (translated)

Pope Leo XIV maintained that intelligence should remember lived experiences and not limit itself to processing data, as these allowed for a connection with human goodness. He also stated that all good things began with the "sign of the Holy Spirit" and left a sense of communion in the heart. https://t.co/bevqNYsciE #Inteligencia #Espiritualidad #Humanidad (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that families contributed to the mission of the Church through their daily lives: with love, fidelity, care, and forgiveness; the education of their children and the transmission of faith; attention to the elderly and vulnerable, and service to their communities and society. He added that in this way, they bore witness to the Gospel and contributed to the life of the Church. #Familia #Iglesia #Evangelio (translated)

Pope Leo XIV pointed out that, in an era focused on technology, efficiency, and profit, it was important to cultivate contemplation and dedicate time to beauty. He added that this could particularly help young people appreciate how art elevates the human spirit and expresses its openness to the divine. He also stated that contemplating offered an opportunity to encounter God, whom he described as Beauty. #Contemplación #Belleza #Arte (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that the Church's primary mission was to help people reflect on deep questions, such as human origin and destiny and the meaning of love and pain. He also warned that the pursuit of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information could pressure people into adopting a lifestyle centered on material consumption. He argued that the human heart was called to aspire to something greater. #AudienciaGeneral #Iglesia #Fe #Reflexión (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that he distinguished between the martyrdom of one who gives their life at a specific moment and the more hidden martyrdom of one who does so day after day. He added that, in his view, all Christians were called to give their lives with love every day. #Fe #Amor #Martirio (translated)

Pope Leo XIV wrote that the present time needed people willing to do good despite difficulties. He urged to reach out to those who were alone, support those who were tired, and seek out those who had distanced themselves, as well as to forgive, start over, and engage in dialogue. #Valor #Solidaridad #Perdón (translated)

Pope Leo XIV wrote that the Foundation Aid to the Church in Need promoted the initiative "One Million Children Praying the Holy Rosary" from October 1 to 7, for peace and unity in the world. He thanked the children from different parts of the world who participated in the prayer and asked to follow their example and invoke the intercession of the Virgin Mary so that the peoples would be freed from war. He also called to pray for the Holy Land and for the innocent victims of violence. #Oración #Paz #Unidad (translated)

Pope Leo XIV stated that, in the era of artificial intelligence, it was urgent to distinguish human art from machine creations. He claimed that there was an ontological, as well as aesthetic, difference between the two, and that algorithms lacked a human spark. He also said that the Church wanted to renew its alliance with artists and cultural institutions to protect the human. #InteligenciaArtificial #ArteHumano #Cultura (translated)

La Europa que conocemos, con su patrimonio espiritual y moral, hunde sus raíces en la vida y en la obra de hombres y mujeres que han vivido, predicado y compartido las enseñanzas del Evangelio. De allí se han transmitido los fundamentos morales del mundo en el que vivimos: principios como la primacía de la persona y el carácter sagrado e inviolable de la vida humana; la tutela de la libertad; la importancia esencial de la familia; la atención a los más necesitados; la acogida del extranjero y el respeto a los ancianos. #ViajeApostólico #Francia #Europa #Valores #Evangelio

No se puede hablar de Europa sin mencionar el cristianismo, como bien sabía Robert Schuman cuando dijo: «El cristianismo ha enseñado la igualdad de naturaleza de todos los hombres, hijos del mismo Dios, redimidos por el mismo Cristo, sin distinción de raza, color, clase o profesión. La ley universal del amor y de la caridad ha hecho de todo hombre nuestro prójimo, y las relaciones sociales en el mundo cristiano se apoyan desde entonces en ella». #ViajeApostólico #Francia https://t.co/k7x2aQe147 #Cristianismo #Europa #Historia

Invocar el nombre de Dios para legitimar la violencia o la opresión es una profanación de este nombre. Nada de lo que desfigura la dignidad humana se puede reivindicar como una auténtica inspiración divina. El discurso religioso debe exhortar constantemente a desarmar los corazones y las palabras. #ViajeApostólico #Francia https://t.co/rhk1KeKrpq #DignidadHumana #Paz #Religión

Aquí en Lourdes, ciudad de los enfermos y de la esperanza, invito a toda la comunidad de los agentes sanitarios a recordar el significado profundo de su vocación: cuidar a la persona que sufre, no eliminarla. ¡Sean servidores apasionados de la vida! ¡Nadie tiene el derecho, nunca, de decidir sobre la vida de una determinada persona! ¡La medicina nunca podrá convertirse en sierva de la muerte programada! #ViajeApostólico #Francia https://t.co/eNGDp4wHuC #Cuidado #Esperanza #Salud

El #EvangeliodeHoy es una llamada a la conversión, a la vez tierna y apremiante. Dios desea que el hombre viva, que abra los ojos y vuelva a Él. Convertirse significa abandonar los senderos del extravío para seguir el Camino de la Vida, abriendo así nuestro corazón a la única Alegría que nunca se acaba. #Conversión #Fe #Esperanza
