Pope Leo XIV to Young People in Portugal: “God always calls us to be saints, and the saints are deeply human! Therefore, be human as Christ is.”
Telling them to ask Christ;“Lord, what do you want me to do in the Church and in the world? What is my vocation? Are you calling me to form a family through marriage? Or are you calling me to the priesthood? Or to religious life?’ These are important questions to ask.”
While visiting the Greek Orthodox Patriarchal Church of St. George in Istanbul, Pope Leo XIV led Orthodox priests in reciting the “Our Father” in Latin.
The Pope has made healing the East-West Schism a priority of his.
