Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV called bishops, priests, deacons, seminarians, and consecrated men and women to missionary conversion during a visit to the Cathedral Basilica of Notre Dame de Paris on Friday, September 25. During Vespers, the Pope urged the clergy and religious to develop a sincere love for the liturgy and to maintain closeness to the Lord through prayer.

While addressing the group, the Pope spoke about the fire that damaged the cathedral on April 15, 2019. He noted that the collective effort to rebuild the structure shows how the site serves as a vital center for civilization where the past and future meet. He added that the beauty of the cathedral invites people to find peace and can lead visitors to spiritual regeneration.
