Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass before approximately 700,000 believers at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

During the Mass, the Pope said that humans are naturally longing beings and that only God can truly fill the emptiness in the human heart. He encouraged Catholics not to keep their faith to themselves, but to bring hope to places of discouragement and spiritual dryness. He also invited the faithful to recognize the deep thirst within the human heart and to look to Christ as the true source of life.
