Pope Leo XIV leads meditation with youth at Stade de France

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV led a meditation for young people at the Stade de France to conclude the first day of his apostolic journey in France. During the event, the pope encouraged the youth to align their lives with truth, goodness, and freedom.

The pope explained that true freedom comes from a living relationship with Jesus Christ. He told the group that while freedom is a powerful concept in their culture, it is found through the companionship of the Lord, which provides wisdom to their plans and beauty to their desires.

Drawing from the first letter to Timothy, the pope highlighted three actions: avoid, strive, and fight. He clarified that the Christian struggle is not directed against others, stating that love is the only weapon. He also invited the young people to manage internal and external conflicts by forgiving others and themselves for their anxieties and uncertainties.
