Pope Leo at Lourdes: ‘The Church Must Have the Courage to Begin With Herself’ | SG News Pope Leo XIV has delivered one of the strongest calls for repentance of his Apostolic Journey to France, telling the Catholic Church that true conversion must begin within herself. Speaking before an estimated 150,000 pilgrims at Lourdes on September 27, the Pope reflected on penance, conversion and the wounds caused by sin. His message came only hours before a scheduled private meeting with survivors of sexual abuse in the French Church.

She must have the courage to begin with herself.” He continued: “In order to heal the deep wounds, infidelities and painful errors that have occurred within her, we must humbly place ourselves under the Lord’s purifying gaze.” The Holy Father did not explicitly mention the French abuse crisis during this section of the homily.

Joan of Arc Arrives on Horseback Before Pope Leo — France’s Saints Come Alive at Youth Vigil| SGNews One of the most visually striking moments of Pope Leo XIV’s youth vigil at the Stade de France came when St. Joan of Arc appeared on horseback, alongside St. Louis IX and figures representing France’s extraordinary Christian heritage.

Letter to the Philippians 2,1-11. Brothers and sisters: If there is any encouragement in Christ, any solace in love, any participation in the Spirit, any compassion and mercy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing. Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but (also) everyone for those of others. Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven …Ebisinga
Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Philipper 2,1-11. Schwestern und Brüder! Wenn es eine Ermahnung in Christus gibt, einen Zuspruch aus Liebe, eine Gemeinschaft des Geistes, ein Erbarmen und Mitgefühl, dann macht meine Freude vollkommen, dass ihr eines Sinnes seid, einander in Liebe verbunden, einmütig, einträchtig, dass ihr nichts aus Streitsucht und nichts aus Prahlerei tut. Sondern in Demut schätze einer den andern höher ein als sich selbst. Jeder achte nicht nur auf das eigene Wohl, sondern auch auf das der anderen. Schwestern und Brüder! Seid untereinander so gesinnt, wie es dem Leben in Christus Jesus entspricht: Er war Gott gleich, hielt aber nicht daran fest, Gott gleich zu sein, sondern er entäußerte sich und wurde wie ein Sklave und den Menschen gleich. Sein Leben war das eines Menschen; er erniedrigte sich und war gehorsam bis zum Tod, bis zum Tod am Kreuz. Darum hat ihn Gott über alle erhöht und ihm den Namen verliehen, der größer ist als alle Namen, damit alle im Himmel, auf …Ebisinga

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 21,28-32. Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: "What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, 'Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.' He said in reply, 'I will not,' but afterwards he changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, 'Yes, sir,' but did not go. Which of the two did his father's will?" They answered, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him."
