Pope Leo XIV prayed the Angelus with the faithful and pilgrims gathered in front of the Apostolic Palace of the Pontifical Villas in Castel Gandolfo. He reflected on the Gospel of the 22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time, which tells of Jesus revealing to his disciples the Mystery of his impending Passion. The Pope noted that Peter's reaction to this message was one of disagreement and rebuke, but also of sincere love and zeal. The Pope encouraged the faithful to always maintain a dialogue with God, even when they do not understand His ways.
