"May we never lack the time to be with the Lord and to accompany those who need to experience the Bishop’s spiritual fatherhood. For the Bishop, united to Christ, even amidst his limitations, is an instrument of comfort, unity and hope," Pope Leo XIV told Peruvian Bishops on Thursday, November 12, in a meeting in Lima.

Highlights from Pope Leo XIV’s prayer vigil with young people at the “Monumento de los Españoles” in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “There is a place for you in the Church, with your questions, your wounds and your story. This is your home too. You do not have to pretend that everything is fine or wait until you have your life sorted out before drawing near,” the Pope said in his address. “Whoever you are and whatever you may have done, Jesus Christ knows you, loves you and wants you to be close to him.”
