Pope Leo XIV delivers Angelus address

Pope Leo XIV told the faithful to embrace God's generosity during his Angelus address on Sunday, September 20, 2026. He said God's mercy exceeds human logic regarding merit and calculation, offering a path of peace and hope.

Reflecting on the liturgy, the pope noted that God's plans are far greater and more compassionate than those humans can conceive. He encouraged people to abandon crooked ways and return to the Lord, who provides mercy and forgiveness.

The pope used the parable of the workers in the vineyard to illustrate how people often resist a more generous justice and greater love. He explained that while the master in the parable paid the workers according to their agreements, he also showed kindness by treating those who arrived last with the same generosity as those who worked all day.
