Weekly Message – October 2, 2026

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, M.Sp.S. of San Antonio encouraged people to build intentional friendships with young people in his weekly message on October 2, 2026. He suggested that listeners choose one young person to accompany by listening, encouraging, and inviting them to share in a friendship with Jesus.

The Archbishop noted that many young men and women face an uncertain future and may not have had a personal encounter with Jesus. He stated that rather than needing a perfect plan, young people need a living friendship with the Lord.

In his message, García-Siller referenced Pope Leo XIV, who said that an encounter with Jesus Christ brings joy and provides the strength to witness to God's love and mercy. The Archbishop concluded by asking Our Lady of Guadalupe to teach people to walk wisely and joyfully toward her Son.
