Pope Leo XIV to Families: Be Missionaries of the Gospel Who Walk With Other Families
- Pope Leo XIV addressed pilgrims on June 2, 2025, urging Christian families to become missionaries of the Gospel and walk with other families.
- He emphasized that an increasing privatization of faith causes many to miss the Church's gifts, leading the Church to seek out spiritually distant families.
- Pope Leo called on the Church, including bishops and laity, to help families embrace faith, become 'fishers' of others, and support young people facing challenges like cohabitation.
- He emphasized that advancing the message about the family is a task upheld through prayer and experiencing Christ, noting that to effectively support families in finding joyful communion, it is essential for believers to continually deepen and reaffirm their own faith identity.
- This message implies the Church must adopt farsighted pastoral methods and communal support to guide families amid worldly difficulties and foster encounters with Christ.
