Papa a sacerdotes do Brasil: testemunhar publicamente o amor a Jesus, não escondê-lo

Pope Leo XIV urged Portuguese-speaking pilgrims, particularly those from Brazil, to follow the example of the Church in France by publicly witnessing their love for Jesus rather than hiding it. During a general audience on September 30, the Pope addressed groups including pilgrims from Recife and students from São Paulo.

The Pope reflected on his recent apostolic journey to France from September 25 to 28. He noted that a vigil with young people at the Stade de France revealed a living faith, while a Mass in Paris showed signs of Church reconstruction through a high number of new baptisms. He expressed his hope that pastors will continue to meet the expectations of the faithful, especially young people.
