Pope Leo XIV continues his catechesis on the documents of the Second Vatican Council, reflecting on Sacrosanctum Concilium and the signs and symbols found in the sacred liturgy.

“The liturgy invites us to participate — body, mind, and heart” and to enter “a dimension inhabited by the Holy Spirit,” the Holy Father said. He explained that the signs and symbols woven throughout the liturgy have a “performative and transformative dimension,” helping the faithful encounter God through the Church's worship.

As the Solemnity of Corpus Christi approaches, Pope Leo encouraged Christians to rediscover the signs and symbols of the sacred liturgy and reawaken their openness to an encounter with God.

The Holy Spirit does not come empty-handed. He brings gifts that strengthen, enlighten and transform the Christian life. 🕊️

The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are not abstract ideas, but graces that help us become more docile to God’s will and more faithful witnesses of the Gospel.

The 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit:

1️⃣ Wisdom
Helps us see life through God’s eyes and value what leads us to Him.

2️⃣ Understanding
Helps us grasp the truths of the faith more deeply and allow God’s Word to enter our hearts.

3️⃣ Counsel
Guides us in our choices and helps us distinguish good from evil, especially in difficult moments.

4️⃣ Fortitude
Gives us courage, perseverance and strength to remain faithful in trials.

5️⃣ Knowledge
Helps us recognize God’s presence in creation, in our lives and in His plan for us.

6️⃣ Piety
Opens our hearts to love God as Father and to live with charity toward others.

7️⃣ Fear of the Lord
Is not terror, but reverence, trust and the desire not to turn away from God.

When we open our hearts to these gifts, the Holy Spirit renews us from within and helps us live as true disciples of Christ.

Come, Holy Spirit.
Fill our hearts and guide us on the path to Heaven. 🙏

BREAKING:
Speaking to reporters aboard the papal plane to Algeria on Monday, Pope Leo XIV said:
“I think that the people who read will be able to draw their own conclusions: I am not a politician, I have no intention of entering into a debate with him. Rather, let us always seek peace and put an end to wars. I am not afraid of the Trump administration. I speak about the Gospel, I am not a politician. I do not think the message of the Gospel should be abused in the way some people are doing. I will continue to speak out loudly against war, to try to promote peace, multilateral dialogue between states in order to seek the right solution to problems. The message of the Church is the message of the Gospel, blessed are the peacemakers; I do not see my role as that of a politician, I do not want to enter into a debate with him. Too many people are suffering in the world.”

Today we celebrate the World Day of the Poor. I thank all those in dioceses and parishes who have promoted initiatives of solidarity with the most disadvantaged. I symbolically present anew the Apostolic Exhortation Dilexi te—“I Have Loved You”—on love for the poor. Pope Francis had been preparing it during the final months of his life and, with great joy, I have brought it to completion. https://t.co/tei01ydPK4

In these days when we contemplate the mystery of God made man, let us ask for the grace to be able to deprive ourselves of something to offer it to our neighbour in need, so that everyone can experience the joy of #Christmas.

"Do not think that your present state is a punishment from Heaven because you would be wrong •••• but be certain that your present state is willed by God for the salvation of your soul."

The Rosary contains within itself the healing power of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, invoked with faith and love at the centre of each "Hail Mary".

Practising devotion to the Sacred Heart of Christ means adoring that Heart which, after having loved us to the end, was pierced by a spear and from high on the Cross poured out blood and water, an inexhaustible source of new life.
— Benedict XVI

[Pope Benedict XVI @P_BenedictXVI]

Kneeling before the Eucharist is a profession of freedom: those who bow to Jesus cannot and must not prostrate themselves before any earthly authority, however powerful. We Christians kneel only before the Blessed Sacrament because we know that the one true God is present in it.
